It Is Time

A number of years ago my cardiologist told me to quit smoking or I was going to die.
I did not listen and thankfully I did not die but 2 and one half years ago I had a heart attack which took over 25 percent of the heart muscle. I quit smoking three years ago this coming July. A month ago my cardiologist told me you need to lose 75 pounds through diet and exercise or you are going to die. This time I will listen to her. As the old saying goes this is the first day of the rest of my life. I have opened my profile to the public and hope to have picture updates, etc on the blog portion. I am a yo-yo dieter so I hope this slow and gradual loss of weight is going to work. Binge dieting has not.

    Welcome to MFP. You are in the right place. It has helped me lose 56 pounds in the past 6 months. I have been a yo you dieter too, but this time, I have decided it is a lifestyle change, not a diet. Good luck on your weight loss journey. I know you will love it here too! Feel free to add me as a friend, we can help motivate each other!
