My first day!!

Hello, today is the first day of my journey! I will do this. I have the support of my loving husband of 26 years. I have several health issues, diabetes, pulmonary hypertension, asthma, and acid reflux. I want to get rid of this weight to hopefully help with all of my health issues. I am taking a diabetes class for the next 15 weeks , so I have to do a weigh in each week, I am going to be accountable to someone now. I want to be around for my husband, children and future grandchildren. <3

    Best of luck! Having the support of your husband is so important, and being accountable to someone is helpful. I wish it were as easy to say we're accountable to ourselves, but I'm finding that it's easier to 'cheat' on myself too. A problem I need to overcome, and sharing your story is the first step. You can do this!
