Hello, I'm Sarah. I'm 35, married, a dedicated motorcyclist, and a recent ex-smoker. Since we quit smoking our waistlines have been growing. I come from a long line of obese people and have always been the "shapely one" in my family. I've always maintained my weight with calorie counting and exercise.
I broke my back when I was 16 years old. I was recommended for back surgery several times, but my parents forbade it. I recovered with chiropractic care, exercise, and core strength training.
Just wanted to say HELLO, and I would love to chat with some local friends I can commiserate about weight loss with.
