My names Lynn and I am 36 years old and I am soooo glad I have finally found a place where i can finally come to for support and to support someone else..
It seem I am the only one in my family (immediate and extended) that is trying to change my way of life.. They all say they are going to and no one is trying and I seem to get no support from them so it makes me fall off the band wagon all the time.. Ya know what I mean?
I just found out that my sugars are starting to get out of hand and if i dont try to control them with diet then they will start me on a pill.. I do not want that.. There are many illnesses that run in my family so I am still young enough to change that.. My father died at age 53 diagnosed at 46 of Congestive Heart Failure, sugar diabetis, high blood pressure you name it he had it.
My mom has all but the CHF.. So this is what I am faced with if i do not change my way of life. I want to be healthy for my family and show them that I can do this and so can they.
I am 5' 2 and i am at my biggest ever at 219lbs.. I have never been this big in my life. Not even when I was pregnant!
So today is a new beginning for me and I hope to meet a lot of new friends that can help me through this weight loss journey.. and I to hope to be able to help someone to!
Heres to a new US!!!Lynn
