Weight loss options are overwhelming. I blamed everything on my weight gain from my thyroid/adrenals to diet limitations from my ostomy. For me the bottom line was to get moving and exercise! This was not an easy committment with prior failures. Only this time, I wanted to lose those excessive pounds for me and my health. If I'm going to be here on Earth today, I might as well feel better! Welcome those that struggle and those that conquer!
