Hello and welcome! I feel your pain I weight 350# and I also 5'4". I've been in and out of the hospital for all kinds of problems. Congestive heart failure among them. What I've done is take my favorite leather jacket and hung on the wall so I can see it all the time. Because one day soon I'm going to wear that jacket again. Don't give up!  I'm not! This time I have the road map. This time it's all the way because if I don't I know I won't have long on this earth.

Thank you I know it's water weight but I feel much better.

Mom and Dad have a Costco membership.  What also I'm concerned about is the additives they put in our food. I want to get my own chickens and raise them for eggs and meat. I've heard rabbit is good too. I live on 12acres here in northern Kentucky. Also I'm disabled I have a lot of medical problems which I hope will go away when I lose the weight. This includes being on oxygen ,this is from smoking too much. Most of my problems are from being overweight. Oh by the way I don't smoke anymore ,  thank God.

Thank you for the welcome. I will look for things on sale. I have to say I've  ever been good at shopping. Mainly because like you say all the pre packaged food. The food I grew up with is not the healthiest. But it's what mom could Aford.
