Hi everyone! I just joined. I just turned 44 this month. I have a 24 year old son, a 22 year old daughter, a 19 year old son, and a three year old grandson who all live with my husband and I. My husband and I have been together for 26 years and have been married for 24. We also have two pitt/sheppard/boxer mix dogs named Bonnie and Clyde who will be a year and a half in June.

I have fibromyalgia, spinal problems, and the possible beginning stages of MS. I've just hit 190lbs which is the most I've ever weighed including when I was pregnant so I've have to work on eating better and being more active. My goal weight is 150lbs with a stretch goal of 135.

I'm so glad I've found this group and looking forward to meeting everyone and making new friends so feel free to add me! :smile:

    Welcome to the group! Weight loss is very possible with chronic illness but will be slower than everyone else so don’t get discouraged if it seems to take forever! I think diet is more important than exercise for us as we’re so limited with what we can physically do. Your dogs sound an adorable mix by the way.
