in Introduce Yourself
Hello Everyone I am Carole and I am joining this website because I think it is awesome!!
Everyone does better when they fight their weight when they have lots of support around them..I am 41 yrs old and I live in Virginia.....2 months ago I decided I had enough of struggling with my weight, not to mention all the health problems it causes. I have high bp and high cholestrol and believe me I am not ready to give in to any of it. so with the help of my wonderful girlfriend and partner, I joined a gym 2 months ago and now I go work out 3x per week and watch my diet, (with the help of this website of course) and guess what? I have lost 15 lbs so far!! only 85 more to go....I am trying to lose as much on my own as I can, otherwise I am considering having beriatric surgery...Has anyone else went thru that ? I would love to hear about your experiences, good and bad.

I look forward to making some friends here and welcome anyone to reply back
Good afternoon to everyone
bye:wink:
