Hi everyone!

I’m Heather and I live in west Sonoma County in Northern California. I’m hoping to connect with other women who want to prioritize their health and selves.

I’m 56 and I share my life with 4 dogs that are little fluffs and my joy. I volunteer with The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito as a response and rescue volunteer for marine mammals on the coast, as well as a weekly shift caring for newborn harbor seal pups at their hospital.

I struggle with depression and binge eating, which has caused me to gain weight these last 8 years, plus menopause didn’t help.
I have the eating under control and this app has been a huge help. Plus I started medication and I hope that helps, too. It’s hard to be that honest, but stigma and shame only makes it worse.

I lost 45 pounds 2-3 years ago and gained half of it back this past year. Now, I’m down those 20 lbs again, but still have about 25 or so to go to be strong and healthy.

I look forward to learning about you all, too!

Thanks!
