I am 42, 4'11 and weigh 224. I have diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid problem, bipolar, and recently found out my heart is now enlarged. I have a 6 month old grandbaby. Three gorgeous daughters 19, 16, & 14. I'm married to an amazing man, for now almost 15 years! :) I am a child of God and after all this I just figured out I have to physically take care of me. I want to be the positive encouraging example in all of their lives. Thank God for my dietician, Lori Boyd and My fitness pal.

    Welcome!! The Lord is good. I'm a Christian as well and I have 3 family members who are bipolar. I just want to encourage you to keep fighting the good fight. You're on the right track with taking control of your health. The Lord is with you and he will see you through this journey.

    We all get wrapped up in taking care of others and we forget to take care of ourselves. Sometimes you have to put yourself first...it's OK. It took me a LONG time to realize that I am important too! Good Luck and God Bless!
