Hi, my name is Lori, and I have been lurking at this site for awhile now, but never have posted. I am hoping I can in! I live in Saskatchewan, Canada, I'm married and have four kids, 20, 18, 14, and 11. I have been this weight for so many years now, probably since my youngest was born. I wasn't always overweight, in fact I was very skinny as a child, and even before my 3rd, and 4 th kids were born. I want the 'real' me back! I just don't know how to go about it! I have high blood pressure and I am on a medication that inhibits weight loss, so I have always used that as my excuse as to why I can't lose weight! I hope the supportive people here will encourage me to finally lose the weight. I look forward to meeting all of you! Lori

Welcome Lori!

Hi Lori! There are some great advice-givers here, so I'm sure if you post what your diet and exercise usually amounts to, they could help you figure out where to go from here.

Welcome to the board!

Hi and welcome. Yup, we'd love to help! I too started when my kids were teens.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I will try and post my diet, exercise later! Lori
