in Introduce Yourself
A freind of mine sent me a link for this website so I checked it out. So far I am loving what I see, and not only am I getting support but I love giving it also. I am now at a point in my life where losing weight is not just becasuse of the way I look or that I can't fit into my clothes. I have been told by my opthalmologist that if I do not get some of this weight off I will have to have shunt put into my head. YIKES!! I do NOT want to have to have that done. So I am buckling down and getting serious. I have bleeding behind my eyes and elevated pressure in them both. I don't notice any of this on a daily basis but have been told if I continue I can lose my sight. So no more messing around I need to get this done. Doc says 10-15% will really make a difference, and I figure if I can get that off it will be a great start to losing more.

    Welcome! That's great motivation, and if you keep at it, you'll definitely lose the weight. I've been logging my food/exercise for abou 5.5 weeks, and have lost a total of 10 pounds! Feel free to add me as a friend, :D
