I have been overweight all of my adult life. I am an emotional eater. I have some health problems that the medicines I have been taking for years didn't help the matter any cause the side effects were weight gain. I just turned 41 and I am ready to change my life around. My husband was just recently told he is a type 2 diabetic and it scared me for him and myself. I have a 20 yr old son and a 7 yr old son and I want to be around to enjoy them for a VERY long time. I was at my highest weight in June of 2008 at 355 pds, if not more. Since I offically started Livestrong in June of 2009 I have lost 69 pds (6/21/10). I am so thankful that my doctor lead me to this site. I fall off the wagon, but this site always puts me back on track. I love all the information that is here at my fingertips. I still have a ways to go, but I know that I will get there. Even if its one pd at a time.
