Always battled with my weight. I wore "Huskies" as a child. I remember being obsessed with dieting. Ashamed of my body, even when I was a size 8. After the birth of my son, Size 14, "How dare I be so fat as to weigh in at 140 lbs". I was never so ill not to be hungry. I am very versed about various diets and exercise.

Now years later. I am a widow twice and retired. I am morbidly obese, diabetic, fibro sufferer with early CHF. It is no longer about feeling sexy or attractive, it is about just being alive.

My goal is to weigh 160 lbs again. (approx 27 BMI) which was recommended for my age and height. I live a very simple life. I am doing this for me. It isn't about dieting this time, it is about enjoyable life changes. I gave up a 50-year, a pack a day smoking habit, and the change was so wonderful. I can keep envisioning what it will feel being at a healthy weight again.

As of 9/20/24 Weight 231.2 Bmi 39.5 Fat 45%
Muscle Mass 29.1 (perfect) Bone Mass 8.8 (perfect)
Severe Obesity Visceral Fat 18

Hope to be under 200 lbs by New Year's. 170's by my birthday next March

One day at a time ............
