Hey everyone! It's been a very long time since I've been on the forum. Probably been over a year...lots has been happening since I was last on. Sadly I have gained ALL of my weight back (plus some )...and I know that I have no one to blame but myself. I am hoping to lose about 150 pounds. I know that for myself, my first goal will be to start writing down EVERYTHING that I eat and drink. This helped me quite a lot when I was aiming for a healthier lifestyle before.

I have decided to come back for several reasons.
1) I can feel how hard my heart is working even when I'm trying to sleep.
2) My blood pressure is high...this needs to change.
3) This cannot be confirmed without a visit to my doctor...but my bf is concerned that I may have diabetes, and I am also very concerned about this. (He was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 7).

Anyway, just wanted to say hi. Since it is almost 1 in the morning...my road to healthier living starts when I wake up. Of course, I know that I can't start doing to much to fast, but that doesn't mean I can't make small changes. Good luck everyone. We can all do this.

Welcome!

We're glad you've come back!
