Default Finally! Doctor's orders!
Hi Everyone! I got a wake up call recently, when I was told I have high blood pressure and cholesterol. I can't say I was surprised. Having battled with my weight most of my life. Being an emotional overeater, and living a transient lifestyle (teaching abroad) for the last seven years, hasn't helped much.

I'm ready to get on track, and just started the weight watchers program. I think part of the battle is admitting that you are overweight and need to lose weight in order to live longer. I feel like an alcoholic coming here, and admitting I have a problem, and need support. Anyway, this site is amazing, and hope to make great use of this site.

I used to do kickboxing to keep in shape, and I've lost my motivation for working out in the past four months. It is time to kick some *** again!

HI

I know what you mean, had TWO Dr's on my case, one about my high blood pressure and another because of my back pain. How embarrassing

I hated taking BP meds, but you know, I got off of them after loosing just 15 pounds. A little makes a big difference.

Welcome!!

Welcome!!
This is really inspiring and good to hear.

Thanks every one for the warm welcome. Good luck Aubrey and congrats on the nine pound weight loss!

I went to my first weight watchers meeting last night, and that was a big step for me. I felt like a child, as my mom joined me up. It is good to have support on some level. I just started tracking my points, and feel confident in this program. I'll start my blog this week as well. Hugz!
