Hi all!
My name is Leah, I am from Northern California. I need to lose between 80 and 90 pounds and joined this because I am hoping to find some encouragement and support from others who are experiencing what I am.
I never had a weight problem until about 15 years ago, after my son was born I gained about 80 pounds and for the life of me can not figure out why. I was one of those fortunate people who never had to worry about their weight for years, then it just caught up with me.
I have two teenagers, so it's not like I am carrying the "baby fat" left over from giving birth. I just can't seem to shed these pounds.
I live on a horse ranch, and just recently moved my mother in with us following her brain surgery. I am a realtor, but am fortunate that I work on a team and am able to do a lot of my work from home right now while my mother recovers.
I love the outdoors, I love to work in the garden and play in the dirt, I love to decorate and paint, I love animals. We have 11 horses, 16 barn cats, 3 dogs and 1 fat pig named Miss Charlotte. I stay pretty busy here on the ranch.
My best friend is my significant other Ry, and he is very supportive in just about anything I do. I get lots of support from home, but they're all thin and I don't feel like anyone in my house really knows how hard it is to battle this weight.
I am hoping that by joining this group I will learn things and be able to empower myself into getting my weight off. I am hoping that I can offer all of you something as well.
