About Me

I am 57 years old, a wife and mother. I have been married to the same man for 41 years this April 5th. I have fought with trying to lose weight for years. I use to weigh 311 lbs, I got down to 189 and plataued and got discouraged. Now I am stuck at 206 and need help! I am serious about losing weight. I skip meals and can't understand why I gain weight when I am not eating. Please help!
I am thankful to be alive, I had a stroke in 2001. It was a bleeder, I am fine now by the grace of God. I am a christian and love life. I love my family, and I want to be here for them. I want to lose this weight for myself...I need a change! Please help!
I am a homemaker, I take care of our 33 year old son who had a Aortic dissection when he was 28 years old. He had stopped taking his blood pressure medicine, and due to his high blood pressure, well he had a tear in his arota and ordering to the doctor he should be dead. This all happened in 2006, he is living with us now due to he is bed ridden and him and his wife are separted going to get a divorce :( sad news. Chris had a stroke, his kidneys stopped working and he a huge bed sore on his tail bone due to being in a coma for 3 months. God has brought him so far since 2006! He kidneys are back!!! He is off the ventilor and the bedsore which was treated by the wound vac is healed! I give all the glory to God! Anyway...I do not work due to my health issues, and now my son lives with us and his care giver!
I love to play games, puzzles, bowling when I can go, go to the movies, spending time with family and friends. I love to encourage others, I am a loving and caring soul....:) I am the one that can find something good about the person everyone grips about! LOL I just love life, my family and God! God has been so good to me and my family, he gave us our son back what a wonderful gift!
Good luck everyone, I am praying that this year will be a much better year and a new change in all of us! A good change! :) A life style!! Yay!!

Sincerely,
Jean Ray

That somehow happens to me too when I don't eat.  I think it's from yo yo dieting my entire life and my body also thinks it's going to starve.    Lesson for us.  We HAVE TO EAT.

Did you get any snow? Oh by the way I love Georgia and somday would love to live there. God bless you and yours hang in there I know you will be successful with what you set your mind to.
