Hi! This is my first post too!
Good to know that there are others in the same boat. I am 34 with 3 kids and work full time. I see a kidney specialist that put me on a low sodium diet and medication for the sake of my kidneys and pretty much told me that if I ate better and lost weight, I might not have these problems.
Wake up call for me too. If for no other reason, I need to be healthy and set a good example for my kids. I have 40 pounds to lose plus the extra burden of keeping my sodium intake extremely low. Yesterday was Day 1.
Good luck to you! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!
