Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi, I joined the group a few months ago but have been putting off really getting started. And like everyone else, trying to start off the new year with healthy eating and exercise. In early 2004 I started out at 330 and got down to 220. Right now, I'm 250 and holding. Had some health problems which have hampered my activity level, but am working my way back. So, going to try and lose this 100 lbs. Really looking forward to having some company of ladies who are in the same situation, and really understand what it is like to battle being really overweight. I'm 47 years old, live in the most rural area you can imagine (1 1/2 hours over mountain roads to grocery stores or WalMart) with my husband and pets (dog and cat). Isolation is a really big problem. My husband and friends are very supportive, but they don't know what it's really like to be fat. So I'm going to try and jump in and be more active in the group, and maybe if I write to you guys and you write to me, it will seem that I'm really not so alone in this self-made prison of fat I seem to have built around myself all these years. Thanks for listening! Topaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
