i am so excited I had to share. On Christmas Day I fell very ill with kidney failure as a result of a miscarriage earlier in the month. Was put on all kinds of meds to deal with it and I took it to myself to start eating zero processed foods. Amazing the motivation you have when your life depends on it! I have since lost 23 pounds since Christmas & just yesterday felt up to getting up and moving and took a nice long walk. Repeated today and met my 10,000 steps! I still have a lot to loose, approx 75ish pounds but it's a good start. My diary is open and would love to have some friends on here. Usually just read posts but today I felt like a little celebration was in order!
