I'm a stay at home mom with tree kids and I'm starting back to college this winter. I have struggled with weight issues my whole life and am now 120 lbs over weight. I was at a doctors appointment today where he told me it would not surprise him if I had either diabetes or if not in saline resistance. With the fact that none of my family any of these issues that I know of I was really surprised. I have been tired of my weight issues but not enough to do anything about it now I understand that if I don't do something my kids could loose their mother and I don't want this to happen but I'm worried that I'm going to loose my drive to make the changes that I need to and stick with it every time I have tried/have gotten sown to where I should be I loose my drive and gain more weight. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hi,
I can understand where you're coming from. I have released about 15 lbs, and still have another 65 to go... support definitely helps, as well as a detailed plan.

Do you have a plan yet? If not, I may be able to help with that. Go ahead and send a friend request and we can chat some more.

It's a long road ahead, but it is definitely doable
