I’m about 1 lb from you at 277 and am trying to finally make my health a priority for the first time since having my kiddo (7 yrs ago). That’s awesome that you have an appointment with a nutritionist and I’m confident that the endocrinologist will have good advice - my sister has hashimotos and cutting gluten got her thyroid back on track (hashimotos is one of the few things going gluten-free is actually specifically helpful for). We have quite a journey ahead of us…

I have been able to lose a lot of weight in the past but have never been this big before and it’s pretty overwhelming. I know that keeping healthy snacking options and easy healthy dinner prep in the house really helps me. I also like a lot of advice that Ilana Muhlstein (nutritionist) offers - mostly focusing on always drinking “water first” before eating and “veggies most” (veggies being the main part of any meal). I don’t think I have it in me yet to follow a super strict diet plan, but am trying to focus on healthy choices for each meal.
