Good Morning everyone! My name is Carrie. I am 28 and weigh 300 pounds. I just joined here yesterday, and I am determined to lose at least 125 pounds. I want to lose it all by January 19, 2009. That is my 30th birthday. We have severer heart health issues in my family. My father had 3 massive heart attacks before he turned 50. Luckily, he lived. I do not want my daughter to have to go through what I went through seeing my daddy so slose to death. I think I never succeeded before because I was just worried about looking good. For the first time in my life, I am dieting because I do not want to die. Don't get me wrong, the skinny part is definitely a bonus! But at this point I am so scared that I have to lose this weight or I will just be killing myself slowly. My husband does not have as much to lose, but he wants to drop about 40 pounds, so that is helpful. We are cleaning out our kitchen this weekend and going shopping as a family to make some healthy choices. We want to teach our 7 year old what we are just learning!
Ok, just wanted to say Hello and tell everyone a little about me. Now I am going to go read all the past posts and see if I can find some encouragement! LOL
Have a great day!
