I'm 40 with an introverted personality, a SAHM with 9 kids. My girls range from 22 to 2. I am a very proud grandmother of 2 grand-wonders, Gerald & Haley and patiently awaiting the arrival of 2 more.
I never really worried about my weight because I told myself I would take care of it when I was done having babies. On May 5th I got my wake up call and made the decision to change my life forever.
My health had gotten so bad that I couldn't walk from my chair to the bathroom without running out of breath. I spent my life in my chair. Seeing things from my chair. I loved my family but had unreal exceptions of them. I wanted them to save me from myself. I have since learned only by taking a hard look at myself that doesn't work. You have to take care of yourself. A choice I make daily. Life is still busy and I still crave attention from my family but I am trying to learn how to use those negative focuses to better myself.

I have a host of medical issues that I deal with and battle daily. The major one's are Diabetes (type 2) and hyperthyroidism (Grave's Disease). I have medical issues with my legs that I am working to improve and that are improving on their own with weight loss.

I want to be buddies so please request. Maybe sharing the quest with like minded people will lighten the load and make the deed more bearable.
