Ok. So Here I am at this again. And this time, whether I like it or not...I HAVE to do this! I have found out I have a heart condition called Left Ventricle Hypertrophy. In essence, the left ventricle of my heart...which is responsible for pumping my blood...is enlarged. The condition is a direct result and directly worsened by my weight and high blood pressure. My excess weight and budding high blood pressure are putting too much stress on my heart...making it work harder than it should...causing it to enlarge. Basically the condition has been developing over a period of many years...but we just found it after having tests (ekg, ecg, nuclear stress test & angiogram cat scan) due some health issues I've been having - directly related to some extensive family stress (another story for another day). So, needless to say....this was the wake up call I've needed to stop acting like its ok to be this fat and pretending that I'm "ok" or happy with how I am....which I'm not!

Hello! I'm Yolanda, and it's very nice to meet you! Health reasons are a great motivator to get you started, but as you progress on this journey I'm sure you'll find a lot more to keep you going. A real quality of life is gained when we lose. I have lost just over 100lbs through diet, exercise, and frequent journaling/communication with some amazing people I've met here. There is nothing special about me, just a girl with a plan who stuck to it as much as she possibly could. This is a life long process, so I recommend making small changes, portion control and trying to move more when you can. I know you will get good results. Stay optimistic. I will be sending a friend request, as I would love to get to know you better. Have a wonderful day!

Hi! I'm Bailey, it is great to hear your story! I admit, struggling with health issues is the hardest to overcome, because it really does make you feel like you're holding back!
I wanted to quick share this with you, http://beachbodycoach.com/esuite/home/BailMcDo1?bctid=3251221773001. It's a health shake (not just weight loss/diet/meal replacement--more than that) that is now clinically proven to lower blood pressure and help with weight loss. I drink it daily whicch has helped me SO much. It's incredible. Friend request on it's way to you. Would love to chat! I used to cry every day because I felt fat, and just walking up the stairs would leave me out of breath. Now i'm doing intense cardio in HOT weather (currently in Las Vegas!) for over an hour. INCREDIBLE! :)
Talk to you soon!
