I am a mom and love my family. I am working to lose weight to save my life. I found out recently I have 2 heart issues and am currently wearing a heart monitor. I am 235 and need to get to about 130ish. So, just over 100 lbs. That feels like a whole other person. I live near Nashville, TN and am a Service dog Handler and trainer. I donate a lot of my time. I am currently working on a horse farm as a stable hand to earn riding lessons. I am going to learn to ride English. I hope to one day finish an Endurance Horse Race. I just want to finish one completely is my first goal.

Hope to make some friends and maybe meet someone close that can be a walking/running partner as I build up my strength.

If you want to know more just ask.

Your buddy,
Beverly A.

    Add away. I'm too far away to walk with you but I try to sign on every day. You can definitely do this. It's not easy but mfp friends make it realistic.

    Hi Beverly! Welcome! I do not live close enough to be a running/walking partner, but you can add me as a friend if you would just like a friend to cheer you on. i had about 100 pounds to lose also... 1/2 way there! :-)

    Thank you guys. You can add me to. I am in real need of support to lose the weight. I suffer from PTSD ( Non combat associated) and some other things. That is why I have a Service dog and it makes it harder for me to just get out the door. But I do a lot of indoor exercise now and am working on starting a garden in our backyard. I just got some chickens who I walk around with during the day.

    I am just so happy to meet others who are supportive. I am still learning the site so give me time but I plan to get on daily and post just as much as I can. Praying for all my new friends.
