in Introduce Yourself
Hi,

I am Linda. I'm a 33 year old SAHM. I have about 177 pounds to lose. My doctor basically said I have to lose weight or I won't be around to raise my kids. I have struggled with my weight for a long time. I am hoping I have success with this. Nothing else I have tried works.

    Hi Linda,

    I'm Stacy, a 43 year-old mother of four grown children (the youngest is 18 and lives at home). I am on disability, so I do not work outside the home (unless you count the gym!).

    I have around 50 pounds to lose. I carry a lot of my weight in my abdominal region. I have been told by a previous physician (and I have also read this in health magazines), that abdominal fat is a precursor to diabetes and heart disease, both of which run in my family.

    While I would be lying if I didn't say vanity was one of my motivations to lose weight, I really do want to improve my health. I have insomnia, depression, anxiety, GERD, two bum shoulders and a bad back, just to name a few things! I think losing weight and exercising regularly would help all of these things I just mentioned.

    I will send you a Friend Request, and if I sound like someone you would be interested in giving and receiving motivation from, then by all means, please add me.

    Take care and best wishes to you,

    Stacy :smile:

    Hi Linda,

    I started off needing to lose around 177 pounds and have taken off 15 in the last month and a half. Would love to join your encouragement team.
