Hello, my name is Beverly. I am 39 and just decided that I am too obese to not do anything about it. About a year ago, I went to the doctor and weighed 294 lbs on a 5'7" frame. I decided to take matters into my hands, but not seriously. THis year I realized that my family history of illnesses is not too good so I better get serious about this weight loss thing. In the past year, I have lost 30 lbs. I would like to get down to 230 by my 40th birthday which is in November. I started a food and activity journal which helps a lot. I'm concerned about my deficit of protein in my diet and my calorie intake, which drove my to count things on line. Wish me luck. I just want to be healthy and live longer.
