Good morrow,
I found this page 5 days ago and started playing with it. i struggled most my life with weight problems. Until I decided to go into the military. I lost it all, and was so happy with myself. Then I got pregnant and couldn't go in. Sadly i lost him due to cancer. it has been 5 years and I beat the cancer, however I want to get back to 5 years ago when I was the prefect size for my body. I've read success stories and they have already helped me and inspired me. Which i am sure that is why they are there. I have a huge goal to get to, and I am tired of getting part way with some fad diet and then gaining it back plus more. So that's part of my story and I am hoping this site and ya'll can help me keep on track this time. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Go raibh maith agat. (Thank you)
