    I feel your pain. Throughout college and early adulthood it was easy to keep the weight off. Never really noticed till a few years ago how quickly it was going on. I've got heart problems on both sides of the family and already have high blood pressure so I'm on a mission to get back into shape and make sure I'm hear for my kids.

    Feel free to add me as well - my mother was obese and faced multiple health challenges, so I understand the sentiment!
