Hi, I am new to this forum, I was told to join one by my nutritionist. I live in the middle of nowhere and have no access to support. I am out there as far as surgery, mine was on June 11. I feel like I should be doing better but not sure if that is the case. Maybe someone out there can help me.
New to site not surgery

Hi Tina welcome to our site. You will find a lot of support and encouragement from the members here. I am relatively new here and am awaiting my surgery this Monday just two more days! Are your weight numbers correct? Do you have support from friends & / or family? Sounds like you keep in close contact with your Nutritionist, that is important. Do you exercise? These are the questions we need to get started with the help you may need.
Hi I have fixed my numbers, used to the others still 
I am so happy for you and will be thinking of you tomorrow. I have support from my husband and daughter, they have been wonderful. You just kinda need someone who knows what you are going through. My Physician and his team are also wonderful support and have support groups but they are 3 1/2 hours away. I see my nutritionist every 3 months so she wanted me to have other back up. I have had a few obstacles along the way that have gotten in the way of exercise, but am back at it. It makes a huge differance. Tomorrow begins the start of a new you, congratulations

Welcome to the forum. I think support is a key factor in long term success. I have used this site especially in the beginning. I find now that I am at goal I need it even more. I didn't really set up strict goals for myself along the way. I just wanted to get healthy not skinny. I am sure you are healthier now than when you started. Don't compare yourself to others. If you want to continue to lose, you know what you need to do. Track your intake, exercise and stay away from trigger foods. Don't be afraid to discuss your struggles we have all been through them. One choice at a time will bring about the change you want.
