in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I'm a 35yo, 5 10", 260lb female living in San Francisco (originally from Australia). I've recently been diagnosed with sleep apnea and now use a CPAP machine :/ I am also awaiting a second round of results for diabetes. I've always struggled with my weight. I've tried all the diets and I have lost weight but after a while I guess lose motivation and put all the weight back on, plus some. I'm hoping my recent health issues will give me a real kick up the butt to lose weight and keep it off!

My first goal to is reach 218lbs (99kgs!), followed by 199lbs and my third goal is 170lbs. I was 170lbs about 10 years ago and I felt really good at this weight. Perhaps when I reach this goal I'll try to shave off a further 10lbs or so. We'll see!

Good luck everyone!
Rachel

    Hello Rachel! I am a 35 yo 5 7' female hailing from Colorado. Sorry to hear about the sleep apnea! I feel you about the weight loss, weight gain, rinse repeat. Been there, done that, hoping to make it stick this year. I'm surrounding myself with positive people in the same boat as me and I'm also trying to go about this the right way! Good luck in your endeavors!
