I'm a 35 yr old mom of three great boys, ages 17, 15, and 10. I was married for over 18 years, just recently separated. I take care of my parents full time. My mother has end stage Alzheimer's, my father copd and emphysema. I am also bipolar, which makes losing weight ten times more difficult. I have been overweight all of my adult life, save for a year or so when I was on Jenny Craig. I lost a ton of weight with that program, but I just wasn't ready to make it a lifestyle change. Now I am over 60 lbs overweight, and my body hurts all the time. I need to make this change to get my health back. I know I can do this.
