I have been on buddyslim for about 2 years now and in that time I have lost weight and gained it back plus 17 more. I have come to the decision that it has to happen this time for good! I have to lose the weight, not only because I want to look good in my wedding dress, but also because I want to be able to teach without worrying about my health and if I can keep up. I need to loose some weight and keep it off. My next alternative would be to get surgery. Something drastic needs to be done because for the past 10 years its been a yoyo game with my weight that when it goes back up picks up some extra pounds along the way. The depression and how I feel about myself is starting to affect my relationships and my self confidence in a big way. I want to do it, so here we go!

Michelle,
I hope you are successful. I am where you are. I need to make this work,,,but I have less time since I,m already 56. Good luck and you go girl!!!!
