HollyPop is on a distinguished road
Default Hi Everyone

I'm a newb. My name is Holly and I live in Southern California. 48 year old single mom of a fantastic 15 year old son.

I can't believe how fat I am after just not caring for the past 5 years. It's to the point where my knees, ankles, and feet are giving way! My last blood test showed obesity-related problems that I never had before: pre-diabetes blood sugar, high bad cholesterol...ridiculous. So it's past the point of just not having any clothes; it's kind of a life or death situation!!

I'm glad to have stumbled upon your forum. From reading the posts, it appears to be a terrific group of folks. I'll be cheering on your successes - they're so inspiring!

I have the book and started induction today. Chicken breasts in the oven. So far, so good!

Welcome Holly! Sometimes we need that wake up call or swift kick to realize that we have been heading down the wrong road. But that knowledge can powerful and keep us focused on the right path. Good luck!
