I am 43 and have had a weight problem my whole life. I have been up and down, as low as 175 and as high as 316. I just had a beautiful little granddaughter and am so ashamed and embarassed by how I look that I won't let anyone take my picture with her. I don''t want to be this way anymore and I am going to do something about this starting now. I need to do this for me and my health and my family. I can do this!!!

    Welcome and YES YOU CAN do it. Slow and steady wins the race. It is a lifestyle change. I have lost 14 pounds so far and many more to come. Just take it slow but steady. Remember small changes make a BIG difference. Friend me if you like.
