Hi my name is Arianna and I am 25 years old living in Iowa. I am trying to lose weight to have another child. This is proving to be harder then it was last time I lost weight. I am considered morbidly obese and my doctor wants me to be the lap band surgery. I am trying to do this natural and healthy. I want to lose weight but I also need to so I can be around for my kids and family for the long haul.

Hi Arianna!
I'm so sorry that you've been having trouble and kudos to you for wanting to do things the healthy way
As a personal trainer, I can tell you that having the motivation of wanting to be around for your kids and family is going to very helpful for you. When people just want to lose weight for a short term goal, they aren't usually successful. Your goal is what it takes to make it in the long run.
I'd recommend this: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/myplate/index.aspx free resource as a place to get started. You'll get a free overview of how to eat healthy for your weight and activity level. Once you know that, you can search around and find free meal plans and other tools.
Let me know if you have any other questions. I just joined this site, but happy to help if you shoot me an email through my website (link in profile).
