My name is Deb and I am 51. I gained a lot of weight after losing both my parents and my job 2 years ago. Depression is a killer in so many ways. I have no energy and I know I need to change my life. I have begun today -again- to lose weight. I am going to do three / 10 minute times on the gazelle Edge to help me begin my journey. I have to work up to doing more. I am a smoker so it is hard. It is easier for me to start this way because walking outside is hard on my knees and my pride since I hate going out and people looking at me.

Please help to encourage me. I know who I can be ,I just need to get there.

    Hi Deb, MFP will change your life :) there is a ton of help & motivation on this site.

    I am a smoker too, so I know what you mean about working out. I figure once I lose all the weight I want to, then I will try to quit.

    you can add me as a friend if you like!
