Hi! My name is Lynn and I live near Mobile Alabama. I spent most of my life living in Wisconsin and Michigan, but we moved here 2 years ago for my husband's job.
Being over weight has been a life long struggle for me. I have tried every diet known to mankind, I even went through all of the steps to have gastric bypass surgery, but I chickened out. I am going to be 52 in a few weeks and I just don't want to live the rest of my life miserable.
I am so glad I found this site!
Hi Bama Girl, yes we are not too far from each other. I love the weather here this time of year, but the Summer heat is brutal! That is another reason I want to get the weight off, so I am able to go out and enjoy the pool and beaches. Living in the Midwest for almost my whole life, I was always able to cover up with a sweater.
Welcome! Just take it one day at a time and before you know it, it will add up to many days and the weight will come off. Drink lots of water, exercise every day, even if it's just starting out with a 15 minute walk and then the next day do 20 min., etc.
