Hi Everyone!!

Options
I am not exactly new to my fitness pal but I am new to the message board. I have been trying to do this alone but I have found that I do need some type of support system. I have been battling my weight for about 15 years now. It's crazy to think about how long its been. I was about 115lbs before I got pregnant and feel like I have lost myself in this fat body I have now. I don't even feel right about my husband touching me and we have been together since highschool! I am only 35 but just found out I have high cholesterol. That is really scary. I don't want to die of a stroke or heart attack.
I hope being able to talk about it and relating to others will help in my quest to becoming healthy once again. We only have one body and one chance at life. I am ready to enjoy both.
Good luck to everyone!
We can do this!!!!

    MFP was the first place I ever joined any sort of online message board. I had no idea how helpful it would be, There are some great groups like the ones mfpme just told you about. There are other groups of people who are around the same age or who have the same amount of weight to lose or who want to share healthy recipes. There are ideas about food and exercise and lots of support and encouragement.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    good luck:flowerforyou:
