I am a 36 yr old female. 5'6. My starting weight was 355lbs. currently (at last weigh in) was 291.8. I am hoping to find a weight loss buddy, because my family lives a few hours away.  I would like to be able to talk to someone who is going the same direction I am.

My cardiologist put me on a VLCD of 600 calories a day. Concentrating on protein and veggies, nuts, whole grains, etc...

My blood sugar has already dropped 20 points on my fasting Glucose and my blood pressure has also dropped by more than 20 points. ***UPDATE***  Blood work results came back. My total cholesterol went from 214 to 166!!!  Fasting glucose dropped 28 points and I am "Nomal" (except TSH Still...)  Awesome!!

My goal is 160lbs. maybe more, we'll see when we get there.

My history:

My Mother had me on one diet or another from the age of 6.

I ended up with a eating addiction and would hide the food I ate.

I am tired of the bondage food has held over me and as a Christian, Christ paid for my freedom and I don't have to be a slave to anything anymore, so I am now learning how to reclaim my life.
