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
