Hello Everyone,
I am new here but I am no stranger to changing my life. I am 45 years old and had the health of a 70 yr old person. I weighed 185 lbs 7 months ago. I was on high blood pressure medicine as well as two medications for diabetes. I actually joined another website and I have been very successful. I still don't eat quite like I should but I have managed to take off 32 pounds with calorie counting and excercise. I am medication free now... I eat to live, not live to eat. I am looking forward to life without pills... that was my main goal. I went from a size 18 to a size 9-10... lost a lot of inches... just still have a small roll above the pants and the annoying back fat... I am a grandmother of 5 and want to be around to see them grow up !!

Sincerely,
TammyM1964

    Greetings from New Mexico - they say this is where, "the sun always shines" so we have something in common.

    :flowerforyou:

    Great that you've done so well, I hope I can do the same. I have researched my plan and plan to stick to it no matter what. I only have one granddaughter and another on the way, I also want to be around to play with them and see them graduate from College. :glasses:
