Hi everyone! I'm new to this whole computer assistance :flowerforyou: concept, so please be patient with me. I need to loose about 45-50 pounds. I have severe persistent asthma that has greatly limited my ability to move around, let alone exercise. Massive doses of steroids have caused a 20 pound weight gain in the past 2 months. My employer won't let me return to my job and has put me on a general leave of absence to allow me time to get healthy. I am highly motivated to return to work. Financial stressors and medical expenses are overwhelming. I have been housebound for 3 months and have had 4 hospitalizations due to severe asthma exasterbations. The asthma has caused a heart arrythmia and most recently obstructive sleep apnea. When I get a cold, I am oxygen dependent and really can't even walk around the house or climb steps. I really want to be healthy again! I have had asthma my entire life, but the past few years have been so limiting. Many of the meds I take cause weight gain, so I feel like I'm climbing an uphill battle. Your support and encouragment is what I need to get healthy. Being accountable to others is also very motivating for me. I look forward to having "let's get healthy buddies"!
