Another newbie!!!

Options
I have been married for 12 years. I have three active children-13, 10, 5. After each child, I kept baby weight. All this has compounded and grew!!! My heaviest was 207 with my last child. I am hovering around 195 and I HATE IT!! It is time for me to do this for me instead of waiting around for someone to tell me I need to do it. I suffer from high blood pressure and bad knees. I know that lowering my weight will greatly help both so here I am!!!!! LET'S DO THIS!!!

I can use all the support I can get!

    Welcome! You can do this. Just keep your head in the game, so to speak. Lean on friends when you feel yourself slipping.
    There are going to be ups and downs, but just keep pushing through it. :)

    Good luck!! :)

    Hi Angie :flowerforyou:

    I just started yesterday and have found alot of support already, You can do this. Keep checking in and sharing your journey, add some people (like me!) as friends and we will all reach our goals together!

    I have 2 kids, older than yours but they keep me on my toes to be sure! I also have bad knees, more from lack of use!! LOL and arthritis - gentics i guess cause i'm not that old!

    Anyway, welcome and best wishes on your weight loss adventure!
    Best,
    julia
