My reasons for wanting to lose weight!
I hated the way I looked! I fooled myself for a long time, by only looking at my face in the mirror! My wake up call came when I saw my picture from my oldest son's wedding! I saw a very large unhappy woman with no confidence in herself. I didn't love myself so how could anyone else love me!

I also wanted to lose weight for health reasons! My parents and older brothers and sisters all had health issues because of weight! The health issues ranged from diabetes to, back, knee and hip problems that required surgeries! It really scared me! I couldn't walk very far without my back and legs killing me! If I got on the floor to play with my grandkids I had to crawl to the couch to get back up or have hubby pull me up!

I have proven to myself I can do this! I have also met so many wonderful friends along the way that have helped me! So I know I can continue this journey and succeed!
