Hi, my name is Ruth. I just joined this forum. I am very excited to start my weight loss journey and share it with you guys. My starting weight is 240lbs.my goal would be 160. i am 5'8''.
After seeing my mother in the hospital these few past weeks i feel like i really need to turn my life around and start a healthy life style. My mom is 360lbs.and 5'5''. her ankles are xtra swollen and she began to develop blisters about a year and a half ago but recently it got really worse the blisters have popped and the have not cure themselves. She is not diabetic. but her wounds just wont heal. It turns out she has some sort of infection/bacteria in her blood system that won't let the wounds heal properly. She is scared that her leg might get amputated. When we took her to the hospital she had a very severe fever 104*fh. Her body is trying to get rid of it. but now she is hooked up to a machine receiving antibiotics. my mom is only 43years young and she has 4 children ages ranging from 5-23.We still need her in our lives. i would love to have children and for them to meet their grandma. It really hurts me to see her in pain and in the hospital. if this doesn't open my families eyes then i don't know what will. my brother is 2 years older than me and he is overweight as well he is 6' tall and weighs 330lbs. my younger sister is only 13 years old 5'6'' and weighs more than me by 10lbs.
Thanks to this forum i hope i can as well transform from a chubbychik to 1finea$$chik
i will try my best to help out my siblings as well but my younger sister is very hard to deal with u know teenagers.
As i am only 22 years young i would love to have children but i really think my weight is a big factor in conceiving. my hubby says i can't ever be skinny he says i am ''big boned'' but after seeing some of you gals out there i know i can too, be skinny(thin).
i will for sure keep u dolls posted on my journey.
