Hello there! My name is Becky and I have been battling weight issues a majority of my life. Both of my parents passed away from health concerns, my dad was Diabetic and my mom had just been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I all but gave up on taking care of myself the past 5 years. I have tried and failed at so many diets/weight loss programs that I thought this is just how I am going to be. Over the last year I have struggled with many weight related health situations and I am done with it! I want to be the fun person that once certified to scuba dive. That person that went repelling, hiking, skiing. I want to learn to snow board, paddle board, and play golf. I don't want to side on the sidelines anymore while the life I really want passes me by. I am determined to give this a real shot this time and make the changes necessary to get there.

    Hi oremgirl1. I'm here to lose weight to avoid health issues too. I'm in Salt Lake. Please feel free to add me as a friend. I think having support from others and giving support is a huge motivator for weight loss.
