I'm a 43yr old mother,I was diagnosed with heart failure in 2000 from a tick bite. I used to be 145lbs... Now I have about 90lbs to lose. I started curves a month ago and lost 2 lbs. UGH! But I used to diet and drop weight like crazy. I'm guessing ???my metabolism has slowed because I have tried to stay around 1500 calories and that was all I lost. I keep edema (swelling) all the time, I'm sure this is a factor too. But I want to live! I have a 7yr old adopted daughter from China who needs me and my marriage is on the rocks because of the way I look...I am fed up and ready to take back what life I have left and live it ...I am discouraged with my recent 2lbs loss in a month!!! & could use any motivation anyone would be willing to give me & tips on how they lost weight..Thanks so much.

Hi there. Please feel free to add me. I am now nearly at my target weight, having been here since Oct 12 but am still intending to be around on MFP for a long time to come. I log daily and try to be as encouraging as I can with my friends. I also have knowledge of heart failure as I currently care for my OH who has it and understand some of the problems that come from medications etc.0
