Hello All,
Some time ago my mom needed a kidney. I had a great one for her and the doctors said that if this was going to work, they needed me to loose weight so we could all make sure that I would still be healthy post-op. I understood and this was literally a life or death situation-How's THAT for motivation?
I lost 30 pounds. I have no idea how I did it...thinking back-what the h&\\ did I do?
After surgery I couldn't get around too well. Guess what? GAINED IT ALL BACK.
I got on the scale when I couldn't get into most of my jeans and was so defeated. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised.

My husband still loved me but I wasn't so sure I loved myself. I am latina and love the JLo curves and the sultryness of Eva Mendez. But I'm pretty sure hourglass figures go in at some point...not out.
I want to go to the beach and not hide. I want to go shopping and not dread it. I want my husband (who is no help in this because he has a metabolism that won't take a break and he loves junk food) to be able to pick me up and spin around---the whole sappy movie thing!

So I am still at my UNhappy and UNhealthy weight wanting to drop 75 pounds. Where do I start?
Finally got on-line and am starting to watch what I eat and make smart choices. Well..it's only been a week but I'm hoping that this site can get me moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish me LUCK!!!!!!!!!

    Getting on this site was step 1, the eating and work outs are really tough, but I think making the choice to be here and do it was the toughest. So, it is kinda all down hill from here girl. Welcome aboard.

    Thank you!!!!!!! This might be sad-But I totally teared up after checking e-mail etc and then seeing that people had posted. And posted support and welcome! I've never had that support before! Thank you!
