Hello ALL :-)
42 live in WA on a large farm with my two kids. I joined this site because I need some motivation to lose, well pretty much a whole "normal" size person (sigh)...I used to be a competitive swimmer, so I was very fit. I got married had two LARGE babies (both close were way over 10#'s)they are 14 months apart, so not only did I gain 60#'s but then added more with the 2nd child...then over the years having 18 (yes you read that correctly) other complicated surgeries did not help getting back to the old me. A few years ago I got the scare of my life when they found small tumors through out me...having to battle yet another "drama" in my life...I lost over 50# a few years ago, then lost my best friend and sunk into a depression, but all the weight back on and then some! Now I decided that life IS worth going on. I may not be able to control what illness I get, but I CAN control what I put in my dang MOUTH! I thought about the lap band surgery, but was told that I'm healthy for being so morbidly obese. (shaking my head) I know ww works, it help me shed the 50+ pounds before. Now is the time to get SERIOUS. I would love to hear from people that have been down this road, help me shed the person off my back!
