Default New, Long term survivor of AIDS needs to lose a few
Hello all..
I'm here because I need to lose a few pounds. I'm not hugely overweight,but just enough to be concerned..I , and my hubby need to be healthy and practice good eating habits all of the time,not just some of the time..
You see, I am a long term survivor of AIDS and developed Cardiomyopathy a few years back...Nothing stops me however,I am a fighter .As far as I'm concerned living 17 years with this disease is already a victory.
As for my husband, on Jan 27th 2007 he had emergency open heart surgery to correct an Aortic dissection, the very same thing that killed John Ritter..He had a very long and complicated recovery.He lost almost 70 pounds in 3 months in the hospital and has gained 25 back..That's OK but aymore gain will be very bad and also tough on his artificial Aortic Valve.
After I get link privelages I'll post a link to my blog about survivign with AIDS
We both hope to be here for a long time with our kids,and so we need to get very serious.

Welcome! It's great that you've taken such control of your health and life, it's the type of thing that might one day give people like me hope if I were to ever find myself battling serious illness. Good luck on reaching your goals, and I wish your husband a full recovery.

Jenny-

WELCOME!! Good luck on your weight loss. But more importantly congratulations on being a 17 year AIDS Survivor!! My father has lived HIV positive for the past 19 years. More than like it will be his heart that does him in not HIV. He is a 3 pack a day smoker, has had 3 heart attacks and a quadruple by pass.

I would LOVE to read your blog!! Could you PM me with the link??

you look great

Do your meds interfere with weight loss or gain ? Like prednisone ?

Well done on the fight against this disease I am in awe of you already and thats before any weightloss!

Hopefully the fact both you and your hubby want to do it will help, because you can do it together and that will be such a wonderful support as both of you will be able to boost each other through the willpower moments!

Welcome aboard and hope to hear more from you!
