mentor and accountability buddy needed who did the kaiser options program in woodland hills



Recommended Posts

Hey sleevers, my first options class starts on 10/1/2015 in woodland hills and goes until 1/14/2016 (16 weeks due to holidays) and I would like to get my diet and weightloss plan on track asap. I heard they do the 10% required loss based on your eeight when you got the referral, or from your heaviest in 3 years. Quite frankly that is the same weight, but I want to make sure that anything I lose prior to class 1 will count towards that 10%. I always seem to get stuck at 30 pounds and then lose confidence and start to regain so I dont want to start to regain right when its time to graduate. I am currently 29 years old, 265 lbs, 5,3", and have 130-135 pounds to shed to get to my ideal weight range, so I need to loose a person (roughly half my weight).

A little about me, should you wish to take me on as a mentee. I am (according to my family) the most dedicated person they know when I set my mind to something, this is one of those things. I love planning things and excel is my best friend, I think this will help me track my progress and organize my diet and excersize, but I need your help knowing what to put in the spread sheets (what to eat, what workouts to do etc.) Until I learn how to choose the right foods as I get into the classes, I still need someone to tell me what to eat.

My excersize is somewhat limited due to a bad ankle, I had a compound tibia and fibula fracture, and now have a metal rod where the bone marrow was and a few screws holding me together. The bones are fully healed, but my ankle still gives me problems, and all this added weight is NOT helping at all.

Because of the weight I need to lose, I am concerned about loose skin, so if you have any budget friendly tips to give on products or things I can do to minimize it as I am pretty sure kaiser wont cover skin removal later on down the line, it would be greatly appreciated.

If you think we would be a good fit for mentor/mentee, please reach out, I could use sll the help I can get. Thanks in advance.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
