Introduction - From Traverse City MI

lesliev523

Hi there,

My name is Leslie and I am from Traverse City MI. I am a single mom to two teenage boys, so I am VERY busy. I also work full time, as well as spend a lot of time rescuing, fostering, and rehabilitating dogs.

Over the last couple years my health was declining. I gained about 40 lbs.... had a lot of stomach problems... that moved to joint and eventually neurological issues. In April I was officially diagnosed with Celiac Disease. In the last two months I have lost about 15 lbs, just by going gluten free. (This doesn't happen with everyone, but I was lucky)

My doctor wanted me to keep a food diary, because of possible other food allergies, and that is how I found MyFitnessPal.

At my sickest, I was about 168lbs. I am now 153... and I am 5'2".

I am hoping to get to 125 eventually.... but I am going to be healthy, and walk my dogs alot!

I would love to find some friends on here, because I will need some encouragement sometimes.... and I would love to encourage others!

So please friend me!!

Thanks!

Leslie
