3 months out and very happy!

[JimBivens 26]

I weighed 354 at my annual check up in December and was borderline everything bad (blood pressure, diabetes, etc). I've lost 82 lbs since I started on a low carb diet Jan 3rd and 52 of those since surgery in March. I just finished a 5 mile walk this morning that I would have never even tried a few months ago. I have a nearly whole new wardrobe, most of my clothes got way too big. I am going on a 7 day rafting trip on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon in July - wouldn't have even considered this before now. So, while it isn't "easy", if I can do it, I know you can too! Just take the plunge and try to stick to the plan as best you can. The rewards are worth it!

Congrats on your WL so far!

Thank you for the encouragement. I'm just starting my weight loss journey and I'm a bit terrified. You give me hope that someday in the near future I can get back to the activities I once loved, which includes white Water kayaking. My weight has kept me from doing things I once loved for far too long. Have fun on the Colorado River! Enjoy every moment of it.
