Not too long ago, I was severely overweight. Considered obese for my height. It's been a struggle but I have lost some of it.
How high was your BMI? I know that it's generally above some point to be considered obese.
Yes. It was a 35. I have it down to a 32 now.
That is good. Obesity increases the likehood you will get diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure and heart diseases
I'd know. my girlfriend currently has gestational diabetes and she's obese
Sorry to hear that. It develops during pregnancy and if not managed, it can pose risks for both the baby and your friend.
How can my girlfriend manage her gestational diabetes? It's been overwhelming for her.
