in Introduce Yourself
Hi,
My name is Felicia and i'm new here. I have decided to take steps towards getting healthy not only for myself, but for my kids. I have teen boys and I want to be able to hang with them physically and not get winded all the time.
I got a wake up call when I visited my doctor and I had a look at my medical record and she had given me a diagnosis of moderate obesity. I have finally accepted the fact and now I want to change it. I want to be able to go back into that office in a couple of months as a lighter me.
My son has begun to help me with exercise and helps keep me on track with my diet. I want to be around for them and set a good example as well.
I have tried other diets and had some success but eventually gained most if not all of the weight back. This time I am more focused and goal oriented than ever about getting in shape. I hope that by reading other people's success stories, I will be motivated to stay on track. Wish me luck!!

    Thanks for the words of motivation. I know it will not be easy, but hard work, determination and a kick in the butt from time to time should help out along the way.
