I've been at this weight loss challenge for years. My life has always been a busy one with work and kids. I never really had time for myself, the older I got the harder it was. I've been avoiding the scale for a very long time because I new I was going to be disappointed with myself. Over the years I've ran into many challenges. I got into a real bad car accident in my early 20's. Getting older and gaining weight amplified my injuries I didn't know I had. My knees and my ankles are always in pain, learned to live with it. I couldn't jog, nor take long walks without being in pain. Doctor told me I could use a bike to get all that weight off my knees and ankles. Now I'm at a time in my life am at my all time high, 187lbs. Enough is enough! I'm back to taking care of myself and back on that bike. I need Accountability buddies to keep me on track so I don't slip back in my old ways. I'm happy to do the same for someone else.
