Hello everyone my name is Taisha I’m 45 and have been married for over 22 years. My weight loss story started sep.2013 i can't say that I’ve been heavy all my life just 15yrs of it when it started. after having children i picked up a lot of weight and as time went on i got really sick and was diagnosed with chf (heart failure) then came diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis in my spine then depression and that's where my problem came in. i began to eat to keep myself calm when i became unable to work because of my back it got worse. What brought me here was i needed help my health is failing and i needed the weight off i tried everything i could think of and it became a yoyo effect. When i hit my highest weight of 256lbs i knew it was time to do something or i will not live long with my heart working so hard. i talked with a weight loss doctor in September 2013 i changed the way i ate and lost 30lbs on my own but i still need the extra help because I’m a stress eater. This Monday 3/14 i will see the doctor once again to find out what's the next step. I’m glad i found this site my husband is here for me but it's good to talk with someone who actually went through it or who is going on with it.

I want to thank you all for the warm welcome and i feel that this will be a great place for support.
