I need all the Help and encouragement I can find to make my goal weight over the next 2+ years I expect it to take. I do realize that this will take some major "lifestyle" changes as well as changes in how I think about food and fitness. I have some physical and medical issues as well that are making this both hard and necessary! I am hoping that with support from my Family, my Physician, and Spark People I will meet my goal and maintain it the rest of my life!
