obesity
"So, I have completed my first week today and I am down 9.8 pounds.  I started last week because at 285 lbs I was just diagnosed with prediabeties.  My doctor wants to try weight loss before taking any diabetic meds.
I'm now at 276 after a week, working everyday to eat each meal healthy.  I've even tried a few smoothies, and baby kale (which by the way, isn't yucky like regular kale). :)
I'm feeling really good about my attempt this time, the medicine so far has not presented any side effects except a dry mouth, which is sort of annoying, but not too bad.
Will update again, pass or fail, so you know.
Good luck to everyone on your journey!!!!"
