Hi everyone. My name is Linda. I am 28 years old and I'm a little overweight. About 7 years ago, I weighted about 110. I had a child, and my weight went skyrocketing. I went from weighting 110 to 250 in a little under a year. I was very depressed and didn't really care about my looks. I am a single mother and I was having huge family problems them, and now, but dealing a little better with them. I went to see the doctor a little over 2 years ago, and he told me that if I didn't loose the weight, I was going to have a stroke and die.

My cholestorol level was 375. I was having heart problems and I was having problems breathing. I knew that I was overweight, but I didn't stop to think about what that meant to my life. I kept telling myself that it was "baby" fat, and that I would eventually loose it. Only it wasn't that easy for me to do. I really didn't care.

Well, the thought of what my child would do without me, kind of gave me the extra shock I needed to loose the weight. I went from 250 to between 150 and 140, now, and still trying to loose the extra weight. I still have the gut, and I have been trying to loose it. I've been eating healthier than ever, and am trying to work out as much as possible. The problem is that I have very little time to do it. And, to be honest, I don't know what to do to loose the tummy. Any suggestions? Also, I have been looking for some kind of support because I feel myself falling into old habits.

So, anyway, thank you all for reading, and I hope to hear from you soon!
