in Introduce Yourself
Good morning! My name is Brenda..otherwise known as Nana Beana. I am 52 years old and have been heavy (obese) all of my adult life. Iv been a single mom the last 12 years after losing my husband to a heart attack when he was 42. (I was 39) I have 4 children (all grown) and 4 grandchildren. As of Saturday I now have 2 daughter in-laws and 1 son in-law. Saturday my youngest son was married. I have one child left to be married and I want to be comfortable in my own skin before that happens. (He hasn't found his special someone yet..so I have time) The past 1 1/2 years have been the hardest in my life (due to losing my mom and almost losing our home due to financial struggles) Life has been very very dark...but things are turning around. :smile: This coming September 1st I am getting married. I know I wont lose all the weight I need to by then but even the few pounds possible by then would make a huge difference. Im looking for support throughout this journey and maybe make a few new friends! Advice welcome..

Hugs, Nana :flowerforyou:

    Welcome! This is a fantastic program with all the tools to make it easier to track food (most important thing to do when trying to lose weight... record everything!), exercise and get support during the process. My motto is to take it one day @ a time, one meal @ a time. Good luck!
