This is a bad day to start on a new board, I'm going out of town next week, but I just wanted to pop in and say hello to everyone, introduce myself and thank April (momof2tob2003) for inviting me to join this board.
I am 29, 4'11" and weigh 213. I have struggled with weight issues my entire life and they are finally taken the toll on me and my body. I was blessed with my first, and possibly only child, August 12, 2003. Before I found out I was pregnant I weighed 200 and got up to 226 during. Nothing out of the ordinary for me, but now I'm realizing how much it hinders me. I'll be honest, my knees and back ache daily and worse if I have to carry Christina around alot.
I want desperately to lose weight not only for vanity reasons, but now more than ever, for health reasons. I want to squeeze every drop of life out that I have in order to be with my daughter. She has made my life so much more than I ever thought it could be and in return I want to make her life as good as I can; and that means being able to play with her and care for her.
I'm not looking for the members of this board to be miracle workers, but I need support and understanding in order to do this. I've never had a real support system; therefore, I've failed numerous times. I'm hoping that through the sharing of stories of lives, we all can succeed this time.
Thank you,
Tina


Are you going on vacation next week? If so, have a great time! And don't worry. We'll still be here when you get back.
