in Introduce Yourself
Hi, *~waving~
My husband and i are new to this site.. our son and daughter n law told us about it.
sooo, here we are.. trying to loose weight together,
I've been reading all the words on support.
and its been wonderful. My heart warms to it. *S*
i started at 220lbs.. and now i'm at 208lbs... feels good to start going back down again.
I sooo want to keep up with my grandson and granddaughter, they mean so much to me.
I do have my ups and downs.. but i'm trying really hard to get a handle on my eating habits.
Thanks to you all, its gotten alot easier,

    I wish my boyfriend would do this with me. He can (and does) eat anything he wants and stays slim. He has an active job whereas I sit at a desk all day... plus his metabolism is just super high. Sometimes it's hard when I'm trying to be good and he wants to order pizza or bake cheesy enchiladas LOL. But my fitness level is a lot higher than his and I'm trying to get him to work out more... sometimes he goes running with me or we go to the gym together. :smile: He is actually pretty athletic but he isn't as motivated to do it as I usually am.

    So I envy you for having your husband's participation! That's awesome.

    Hi and welcome!! I have been here for about 2 months now and I bet you will love it here! My hubby and I are supposed to be doing this together but for some reason I am the only one trying. But I plan on getting to where I want to be, with or without him. Lol!! Good luck to you! I am sure you will do great!

    WELCOME ABOARD! I'm glad you are getting healthy. My Father had a massive heart attack 2 years ago, he had to have 2 stents put in. He was 66 ate healthy, had low blood pressure, and low cholesteral. So it was a shock to all of us even to the Doctors that he had 2 small block atteries. His only signs when he was having his heart attack was shortness of breath/was climbing up stairs, and a little dizzy (No pain in the arm or anything else ). He told my Mom to call 911 and she said no I'm driving you to the hospital (only 4 miles away). My father crashed as soon as they had him on the gurnee. The Doctors said she saved him. He has lost 25 lbs since eats more legumes, salmon and fish and exercises everyday. It's great you have each other for support. Keep up the great work! You both will start feeling more energized soon! And you will be healthy and live longer for each other, your children and Grandchildren to love! :happy: :heart: :smile: :heart:
