Motivation Over 200 club! Sep 14 2008

Hi all, my name is Martie and all I can say is “Ahhhhhh, this group is for me!”

 

How do I join? Or may I join?

 

I’m 5’5 and weigh in at about 248 lbs according to my last dr visit a few months back. I’d check my scale in the bathroom but I don’t think it works very well, it reads that I’m less than 215 and I know that impossible for my clothes don’t reflect it. But I shall keep that broken scale and jump on anytime I need a little pick me up…lol

 

I started gaining the weight after I had the children. I have 4, and with each child I gained more and more weight. I was diagnosed with hypertension about 10 years back and started a strict diet and exercise routine, I actually lost a great deal of weight but have since gained the weight and then some back within the last 2 years. I did fall off the exercise routine and also started eating on the run at the fast food joints, which is something I never use to do, and now it shows. Just looking for motivation as well as being motivation for others. I’d really appreciate it if I could join this group.

 

Thanks!

Martie
