Fighting for quality of life with Muscular Dystrophy

ugottafriend

Hello everyone!

I'm Kelli from the Gulf Coast. I have been a yo-yo dieter most of my adult life due to fluctuations in health. I was fairly athletic as a child, but developed a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy at age 12 and my abilities have gone downhill from there. I began having serious episodes in 2011 that have left me debilitated, and I have been steadily gaining weight ever since. I am on a risky but necessary diet for my condition...high protein, high fat, high potassium, low carb, and low sodium. Every day is a challenge, but I am hoping to lose 15-25 pounds in spite of the fact that I can no longer exercise. As a friend of mine says, never surrender!

Thanks for being here, and I wish everyone the best in achieving your goals!

Kelli
