New here and hoping to make it work for me...my story!

jostrehler

I am a 52 yr old female that has been struggling with my weight, as well as other issues for sometime now. It all started with back pain that would not go away. Then severe foot pain as well as female problems that eventually needed surgery (3 times). Then a couple years ago my doctor told me I have Fibromyalgia and that was why I am in so much pain all the time. He has put me on several different meds. but no luck. I have since in this time went from 127 lbs up to 170! Now last month doc put me on cholesterol meds cause it is too high! I really want to try to get my life back but I have tried and failed so many times! Hoping this will help get me on track since I have it on my phone too so I can keep track of my eating habits easier. So wish me luck folks and I am pulling for all of you too!!! My goal is to lose 35 lbs and start exercising more. Today I have already descovered that I am eating way too much sugar...I am at -10 and it is only 3pm! So that little bit of info is already an eye opener!!! Good Luck All and Happy New Year!!!!
