You see, I put on more than 30 pounds, after a hysterectomy four years ago put me in surgical menopause and I had to undergo hormone replacement.
This isn’t good.
With my help doctors, I had a plan to stop the hormone replacement, eat better and move more. It was a series of small changes that added up, and after a year, I had lost 75 pounds.
Why don’t you start a Facebook Group? It was a great idea. Unless you’re experiencing the same thing, you don’t really understand what someone is going through, my family was supportive and proud of my fat loss. Doctors recommend taking 10000 steps a day to be healthy and maintain your weight. Now, I was walking 20000 to 30000 steps a day. i named my group Steps to Good Health.
a solitary recommendation I make to people in the group is to get a pedometer and start counting steps. We’re a support group for people who are dealing with weight issues and are on the road to good health. Usually, men, women, teens, seniors and people from all over the world have joined. I know that the main rule is to be positive and not knock others down. You can’t be hurtful to others, you can share your frustrations and hard times you’re going through. We have more than 14000 members now and people always say that they love that the group is so positive. There areSo there’re always people there to say very good work and be encouraging.
We’ve had some incredible stories, like the man from Kentucky who lost 85 pounds and a woman from Texas who lost 80 pounds thanks to the spirit and support of our group, after three years.
It’s gone beyond removal of excessive weight support to being about friendships. People share important things about their lives like engagements or asking for prayers for a family member in the hospital. We’ve also had members meet up personally. It’s incredible to see. I’m maintaining my weight and getting my steps in, as for me. Eventually, they inspire me and teach me new things now and then. We’re always there for each other, every way step.
