Hi there! I'm em! I thought since I'm new here I'd introduce myself...
I'm 15 (almost 16) years old and I have pretty much always been overweight. I grew up surrounded by food and although my mom tried her best to keep us both healthy we didn't really end up that way.
She has been through alot of health problems, especially recently and seeing what she is going through has hleped me realize that I really need to get get my weight down into a healthy range. My mom has tried everything to loose her weight but has some condition (idk the name) that prevents her from doing so.
I want to get healthy so that I don't end up that way. I love her so much and I think it would make her really happy to see me healthy. She says she worries about me because she wasn't up to my highest weight untill after she had me. So, I want to loose the weight now while it's "easier."
This isn't just somthing I'm doing cause I don't want to turn into my mother. This is something I'm doing for me. I know in my heart that God has a totally awesome plan for my life. I am doing this so that I can be around (and healthy enough) long enough to finish it.
I would like a buddy/accountability partner
that I could IM/E-mail daily because I have found that if I don't have someone helping me and pushing me I won't do it.
I started The Best Life Diet Phase 1 about a week ago. I am on Level 1 on the fitness scale.
I am so glad I found a site where I can come for advice and encouragement!

New to site but not to weight struggles!
