yo-yo dieter since 1974 (off and on) loving this site

Hi everybody--I am 52, a mother of 2 and I was naturally slim most of my life until my second child at 34. The struggle started around that time and I swear, on my 40th birthday, my metabolism slowed by half. I like how sensible this idea is, how private it can be or how social it can be. I am always the most inspired by before and after photos and by stories of how serious, even life-threatening health problems are CURED by weight loss and exercise. Good luck to you all and here's to feeling great!

I am a 48 yr. old woman. I do not have any children due to being obese all my life. I have finally taken control of my life and am trying to get healthy. I have all those illnesses related to obesity. I have lost 90 lbs. since September but have another 64 lbs. to lose. This site is great and everyone is so supportive. Feel free to add me.
