Not a typical thread here, but what the hey!

I am proud to announce that I have lost 13.7 pounds!! 

I was on a "no exercise" order from my doctors for 2 years until they investigated my fainting issues to rule out my heart.  I was over weight before but during that 2 years I gained even more! :(  

Well, my heart is fine but they still don't know why I have fainting issues. However since my heart has proven fine I have been given the go ahead to begin exercising again. So now I'm in Physiotherapy and have been going twice per week for about 6 weeks now.  So that's a bit more than 2 pounds per week loss, which is a good rate.

Anyone else here working on the battle of the buldge? I could use a weight loss buddy! :)
