Hi,

My name is Sandy and I live in the gorgeous country of New Zealand. I'm on the West Coast of the South Island so we have the beaches, the mountains and the bush! I started really exercising 30 days ago. But before that, about 17 months ago I had a doctor tell me that due to my back I was looking not only at surgery, but possibly a wheelchair and having to taking morphine for pain! Well - I'm the stubborn sort. So - I started walking. At first it was difficult (at the time I weighed about 94 kg, which is over 200lbs). But, I kept it up and the weight started dropping off. Thirty days ago I was at 78kg (about 165 I think?) and now, I'm down to 74! Two days ago I started EA Sports Fit 2 - much more intense! I also decided to start watching what I was putting IN my mouth! I was so happy to find this site!!! My goal is to lose about 16kg - and all the support I can get would be awesome! Oh and the doctor? Went back to him last month - he said though I probably will end up having surgery "one of these days" - with the weight loss and better fitness, I am heading down the right road Oh, and no more talk about pain killers!

Thanks for that! I live in a very small town, so the doctor of course is not only a doctor, but someone I see around town all the time. His kids even go to the same school. Every time I see him I just smile!
