Hello everyone!:flowerforyou:
I am looking forward to talking to and supporting everyone on this site. In april of this year I was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia(a bone marrow failure disease. Luckily I am now in recovery through immuno suppression therapy, and I thank God everyday for this blessing. Unfortunately medications including steroids have led to me gaining almost 30 lbs in only 2 months. I was already overweight before starting the treatment, so this has set me back pretty far physically. I know that much of the problem was the hunger involved with taking steroids and me not having the self control to not eat tons and tons of bad food! I am ready for a lifestyle change, and ready to get my life back! My husband and I love to cook, and I am hoping this will be an awesomely positive experience for us. It is a goal to loss 20 lbs by the time we visit family in our home state of Ohio on thanksgiving, and loose another 40 by May of 2011. I hope you all are doing well, reaching you goals, and gaining self confidence and good health!

    Welcome sditto, I am pretty new as well. This is a good site to keep you accountable for what you eat and exercise. I really like it. I think you will have much success here. I do not need to lose weight but i want to stay on track and stay healthy. There are also some articles on this site with good info you might want to check on.

    Good luck with your new lifestyle change and never give up :)
