Hi everyone,

My name is Julie. I have many health issues and need to lose approximately 50 lb. to be in a 25-30 BMI. I am an oxygen user, and have been for the past 9 years. I am going to be listed for a double lung transplant and that is the most important reason that I need to get the weight off, of course there are other reasons as well. I use my treadmill everyday now for 45 min. a day using 25 lpm of oxygen through a non rebreather mask. I have only been able to go to 2 mph but it's better than nothing. My lungs are awful and so it makes everything a challenge. I can't vacuum, sweep, or mop (anything that is active) without alot of oxygen through a mask. I keep trying and my husband helps as much as he can but he has a job to keep us out of the poor house if you know what I mean and I don't like to ask him to do too much because his job is very demanding. So, here I am, I hope to lose weight, get healthier and make some new friends.

Thanks
Julie
