Hello, my name is lyze(pronounced Liz) and I am 32 years old with the health of probably an 70 year old woman. I have a husband and two beautiful boys. But my health prevents me from having a full life with them. I have a heart condition called a right bundle branch block, and a heart murmur. I have severe anxiety, bipolar, and chronic migraines. I broke my spine in 2014 in a car accident and now I have four other discs that are bulging and herniated that are causing me to be bed ridden. I am also a type two diabetic.

The list does go on further and further. This year I have decided that after the last few years beating me down, I am gonna make 2017 my *kitten* and lose the weight to not only improve myself but improve my health to be a happier more productive mom and member of my family. I currently weighed 265 in December of 2016 and I'm down to 244 so far. If anyone wants to discuss anything anytime with me, I always have a should and an ear for you.

Good luck to everyone!

    Sorry for all you are going through. Congrats on the weight loss. Do you do any light exercise? Can you walk with your back pain? Keep up the good work.

And last year I was diagnosed with pvc' s premature ventricular circulation. I also have severe anxiety.. so working out and takes a lot for me I have to do everything the long natural hard way. So u are not alone. Add me if you would like to be buddies in this journey.
