Hello. My name is Eva. I am determined to start a new routine for myself here. Thru the years, I have let myself go. I am happily married with 6 wonderful kids. They are my world and I want to be around to see all of them grow up. Hoping to get some support and encouragement from people in the same boat. My family is a "big" family. My mother at her heaviest was 399. I never had an issue with weight until the last 3 years or so. I have seen all that my mother has gone through, physically and emotionally. She was only 48 and already suffered congestive heart failure. A few years later she did opt for gastric bypass but unfortunately had some complications and has gained most of the weight back. (she was down to 170) I am hoping this website and everyone here will help me acheive my goal.

    Hello,
    I retired this year. I have gained 30 lbs. in the last 20 years. I want to get down with a 20 lb. weight loss to start.I know that we need to be honest with what we eat and do for exercise.
    You do have a challenge ahead of you, but what a lovely family. Enjoy those 6 children and make it a family effort to eat healthy and exercise together. Best wishes to you!
