I am at a crossroad where I have to understand my motivation for this weightloss. Lately my mind has become excited about the mirror but has forgotten the bigger picture-my future. My family history is riddled with strokes. My father, his older brother, younger sister, older sister and father have all suffered strokes. The family history is so ominously threatening that my pediatrician was forced to react to it. When I was child my pediatrician placed me on blood pressure medications after she noticed my diastolic blood pressure. There is a slight chance that I may have inherited my mothers genes but I doubt it.
With the help of this website and the my sick and deceased relatives I realize at 24years old I need to make a decision. I have lost over 60lbs but have 34lbs more to go! It feels impossible but I realize with consistency and a consistent positive spirit it is achievable.

If you can relate to this story or if you simply understand my struggle please add me and lets motivate each other on our weight loss journey!
