Re-focused!
Hi everyone,
I was on the site for a while last September, then stopped focusing on myself completely when I learned our daughter had Thyroid Cancer--scary stuff. The good news is she's doing great (only a 5% chance of recurrence) and I'm ready to focus on my weight loss goals again.
I'm a size 16 and my goal is to reduce my cholesterol from 240ish to below 200, eliminate the need for my low-dose but necessary blood pressure medication, and fit into what today is a size 10 (really, back in the day this would have been a 12 or 14--manufacturers love to reduce the sizes for us!)
I'm 44, a wife, mother, and granny to almost 5!! I recently purchased the You: On a Diet audiobook to listen too while commuting and will start this week. In the meantime, I am also going to follow phase one of the South Beach Diet.
