Someone who needs the proof that she is losing weight.

My name is Anne & I have been doing this as long as Wheelie_UK has had his account here. I started with him to give him support & not need to cook to many different meals. I didn't have an account at first & didn't know how much I weighed, I only got an account because I was told I was losing weight & didn't believe them. Wheelie_UK said the only way to prove that I was losing weight was to check what I weighed & keep a record. As I was doing this with him to give him support, I may as well set up an account of my own & then I would be able to see if I was eating the right amount for me. when I weighed myself I was 280 pounds, which did surprise me as I thought & felt I was a lot heavier. There is no real way to tell how much I have really lost, but now I am weighing myself & keeping a record here I will at least know from now on. My goal is to lose over half my body weight & get down to 126 pounds if I can.
I am disabled & need to use a wheelchair when I go out & about. I have Arthritis in every joint, I get Migraine headache every so often, I have Osteoporosis in my Spine & my Spine has at least 3 crushed Vertebra at my last Xray. I am always in pain & some days are worse than others, But at least I am alive. I believe that every day I live is a blessing, as years ago I had a Motorbike accident in which they didn't think I would live because I had head & spinal injuries.
Things have never been easy for me, but after the accident at least I could say I have my life. Since the accident I have been Married twice & Divorced twice, had my Daughter who is now 22 years old & met Wheelie_UK on 8 August 1996. I am still in a relationship Wheelie_UK & this I have never regretted it, I love him very much.
