Hello all! A week ago my life took a huge turn. After only 3 years of marriage my husband and I separated due to his use of illegal drugs and alcohol abuse. So I moved to my parents house who are both total health nuts and my father is a Boston Marathon runner and my mother is a 5k runner. So with me being the heaviest I have ever weighed in my life I have decided to make a new start for myself.

Welcome! I have had the same experience. My ex and I hadn't been married for even a year when he chose drugs over our daughter and myself. I too moved back home. He was sober but relapsed and didn't want to seek help and after 3 years still hasn't. Its been a long, long, long road to finally have myself on the right track with my health and weight. I'm down 30 pounds since the end of December. Still have a ways to go and lots to learn!
Be kind to yourself and do what's best for you!2 -
My goal is to lose 100 lbs and become healthier for myself to make myself feel better and for health reasons as well. I am 25 and have high blood pressure and on the verge of becoming diabetic.0

That's unfortunate situation with your husband. But it's good that you were able to pull yourself out of it. You have a great goal and I wish you luck and there's no doubt you will accomplish them. Let me know if I can help you in anyway! Let's kick this weight off together!1
