Hi all,
I tried to properly introduce myself but I'm since re-thinking my strategy. What I meant to say was
I'm in my early 40's.
I am overweight, almost obese. I am 5'6" and weigh 171 lbs.
I am here from weight watchers for several reasons, not just because it's free. (Free does help though!)
I have 20-30 lbs to lose. 20 is my first goal, then I'm going to re-evaluate.
I am married - I'm here for WEIGHT LOSS support, period.
I have a few medical issues but I can still exercise when my vertigo/migraines aren't kicking my rear!
I'd love to find like-minded people with similar weight-loss goals/issues, so please feel free to add me as a friend if you think we are similar in our reasons for being here.
