Hello,
I am a 36 year old mom of three living in Florida. I have struggled with weight almost my whole adult life. Three years ago I was diagnosed with Cancer. I had to have my thyroid removed and undergo some pretty rough radiation treatments. Losing weight wasn't easy anymore. I had no thyroid so my metabolism slowed down big time. I slowly skyrocketed to almost 180lbs at only 5'2. I felt disgusting, and new it was time for a change. At my heaviest I was 186lbs but I was pregnant with my second daughter. My weight as an adult has fluctuated between 130lbs and 150lbs. My goal is not to get skinny but to get HEALTHY. I finally went into remission from my cancer and I am taking CONTROL of my life again. My goal weight is 140lbs for now and would love to meet some buddies to chat with :) I can do this and so can you, if we NEVER GIVE UP because FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!!!!

    Very touching story. Very happy that you are in remission also! You're a proof that everything is possible when you put your mind into it!!! After a certain age, the goal is not to be skinny but healthy and I'm there now!! Feel free to add me, I started 3 days ago with 55 pounds to lose. We can do this!!
