HI, I was browsing the net and found this site, what a beaut one it is too.
I am hopeful with your support that I can refocus and take measures to improve my health.
About me:
I am 54yrs old, 5.3cm in height and today I weigh 90kg.
I am an original kiwi from New Zealand, been living in Queensland Australia on the Gold coast for 15yrs and I work in a nursing home.
All my life I have yo yo'd in weight.
In 1969 I weighed 60kg when I married.
I ballooned to 120kg after our child was born in 1971.
In 1976 I underwent a gastric bypass and regained my goal weight of 60kg within 6 months. I maintained this weight until I moved to live in Australia 12years ago. (The move was simply to please my husband who fell in love with the gold coast during a holiday several years prior to the move).
I gained weight within a few years - joined Jenny Craig, returned to goal weight but over the years have not sustained permanent weight loss. Over time I have tried lots of diets and programmes with some success only to regress yet again. Worklife is long hours and stressful but I have to work to pay off mortgage and bills because my husband is impaired now due to an accident and has lots of medical needs and my health is starting to deteriorate SO this is where you come in. I figure there must be someone interested in helping me get unstuck from this crazy spiral I find myself in. I respond well to structures and would welcome direction to impliment a forward plan. The "how to start" would be a great step 1 plan.
