I don't chime in much but thought I'd stop to say welcome to the party. It's like a small private community of people all trying to live life 1 day, wk, month at a time doing our best. Some post or interact more than others. Don't get offended if you're looking for a lot of small talk engagement but don't find it. It's not you. It's more that most ppl use other platforms to be social butterflies. Best of luck to you on reaching your 1st goal. Have a beautiful day!

Welcome. Everyone here has a story as to what brought them to FS and made them decide to do something about their weight. Very often, like you, poor and worsening health. This is a supportive bunch of people. Have you seen and talked to your physician about your plan. Are you diabetic? If so you might benefit from a consult with a dietician to talk and plan a program (aka, WOE— way of eating) that might help you stick with it. Start by logging your food, weigh your food in ounces or grams. Don’t guess. You will be wrong more times than not. You have to know how much you normally eat in a day and then adjust downward to what you need to eat in a day to accomplish your goals. It’s hard, just don’t stop—-you can do this.

You were truly blessed to have a partner who understood you. Mine does not, but I am so fortunate to have a "bestie" who does. That said, despite all my years of trying to shed this excess weight alone, this time my hubby has stepped up and is being supportive. It has made a world of difference. I hope you can find the support you need here. Don't hesitate to reach out to people. I've been a member here for a few years, but only yesterday returned. Good luck and blessings on your journey! <3

welcome! we are all dealing with struggles...from what I have seen, this forum has been quite non-judgemental. it's nice to have a place to Get things off your (our) chest without a barrage of criticism...so don't worry about any rambling, it's called "de-stressing" here!😉

Welcome to FS. My husband and I were both pre-diabetic so went to a class for diabetics at UCLA in Los Angeles. I weigh about 130, my husband 150. We were both told to eat 7 servings of grains a day by their professional dietitian. Crazy. If we did that we would both be diabetic in short order. Cut the sweets and high carbohydrates and you'll lose. Sorry for your loss of your partner.
