in Introduce Yourself
hi all-

i am a newlywed nurse who has been big all my life. I always would fail at diets and just kept getting bigger as I got older. I am a neuro icu nurse and work a lot with stroke patients and I always felt like I was being contradictory telling patients and family to reduce stroke risks when I am a walking example. So I got serious last week, time to put up or shut up. I have lost 8 lbs so far and cried because of how proud I am of myself. I've cut portion sizes, switched off soda and walking an half hour to hour every single day. That's even after work 12 hours in a busy trauma hospital. So feel free to add me, I'm sure I'll need the encouragement as I work towards doing a 5K this fall.

    Knowing you almost your entire life I have to say how proud I am of you. I'm right here with you and when this damned knee of mine is fixed, I'm there. Keep it up Brooke! I'm here for you all the way! I love you and I'm VERY proud of you!
