Hi, I am a 60 year old fat chick with type 2 diabetes, had a heart attack in 2004 and had triple bi-pass surgery, and have neuropathy in my feet and hands.
My goal is to lost approx. 20 pounds because of health reasons.
Looking for a buddy or two to help with this lifestyle change!
I am hoping that if I change my lifestyle I can get off some of my meds.
Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Carol

Hi Carol,

I am new here too! Just thought I would say hi and say I think it is great that you are taking charge and embarking on this weight loss journey to improve your health. They say that losing even as little as 10 pounds can make a huge difference in your health, so 20 will do you that much better! I am trying to lose 20 pounds too - let me know if you wanna be buddies.

Welcome to the board....I am new as well

Hi, Carol, I'm a newbie, too -- pounds and pounds to go. I've read in Prevention that for every 5 pounds you lose, you lose miles of tiny blood vessels -- meaning your heart doesn't have to work nearly as hard! Sounds great, doesn't it?! Wishing you success! Barbara
