Hello Im 39 year old from NJ. Im in the process of possibly getting weight loss surgery. I havent been able to stick to any plan for the past few years. The swelling in my legs and my high blood pressure are really scaring me. I need to do this TODAY! Not after the holidays not as a resolution but TODAY December 16th 2015! Anyone who can help motivate me and make me accountable would be welcome!! Thanks in advance!!

    Hello! I decided to go on my journey because I am hoping to dodge the diabetes bullet. Most of my fathers side of the family and a few on my mothers side have/had diabetes. Most are gone now, including my father. So I really need to get my weight under control. A couple of my siblings and a niece have diabetes now.

    That is very scary to me. I witnessed my fathers battle with that dreadful disease and I couldn't do anything to help him. I supported his journey (which wasnt a good one) until he passed away. He refused to take better care of himself. That is a big part of my motivation. I refuse to just let it take hold of me, I will fight all the way.

    That's what happened to me. I went to the dentist, and my BP was 150/100! I am only 34 years old! It scared me. So I went out and got a gym membership, and started last week. I have about 50 pounds to lose. I also need an accountability partner(s). I need help with motivation! Welcome and lets do this!!!!! Kelly.
