I have been on this site about a month now and I am so proud of myself. I am the queen of not following through I'll start something and never finish. This time it was different I'm diabetic and have high blood pressure about to turn 31 and I have 2 small children. The odds are already stacked against me overweight, diabetic with high blood pressure. I just finally said enough is enough and i was doing research on weight loss and how to count my calories and came across this site. This site is such a blessing although I've never posted anything I always read the message boards everyone is so encouraging. So I've started counting my calories, taking vitiamins (something i've never done) and I work out everyday if not everyday at least 6 times a week. So far I've lost 20lbs I couldn't believe it I don't weigh every week because I don't want to be discourage but I noticed my clothes were to big and went down a pants size. I'm feeling really good this morning I'm on my way to reaching my first goal and making a lifestyle change for my kids and myself.

    @lina1131 thank you so much.....

    I was so suprised that I dropped that much but I've really been working hard at it. I know a lot of it is water weight and the rest will probably come off slower but I'm off to a good start. We are doing a weight loss challenge at work and so far I'm winning in more ways than one. I'm loving my new lifestyle I have so much energy now.
