I have developed back problems had to quit teaching. When I exercise, clean house, cook, my back muscles and arm muscles freeze up and become extremely painful. I began eating Halloween candy and gained 20 pounds and my cholesterol went from 185 to 296. My doctor wants me to address that change do here I am. If there's a will, there's a way!

    Congrats on joining MFP! You will do great! Start with small changes at first and log everything you eat. When I started I could l only walk 2 minutes and now I am up to 45 straight! I am taking new friends who will comment and support!
