Hello everyone. I am so glad to be alive! I had my appointment with my doctor who had me see a cardiologist. He changed my meds. Something happened to me through all of this. I realized that the Lord will never put more on me than I can bear and apparently He believes that I can handle the issues He allows. He is right, though the only way I am able to handle them is if I run back to Him with my heart and arms open wide. He means more to me than anything and I couldn't always say that. I'll take the meds but I will pray to my Heavenly Father for guidance and wisdom about my life. I'll exercise and make decisions that will help me have a stronger, healthier and lighter body. He is the One who is helping me, along with all of you on this journey to health.
More than anything I want to know how it feels to be healthy and at goal. But, on the way I am learning so much about myself on the way there that it is now an more like an exciting adventure! Thanks for reading guys...healthy eating and great exercising to you all.

You have almost licked the first 10% Alberta. And so it goes! The challenge lies in the repetition, same old same old, and that's how we get to the 20%, the 50% and onward and upward until the "Holy Grail" is within our grasp!
I can't wait for that moment!
It could happen....! - Dave

I know what you mean about wanting to know how it feels to be at that goal weight. I don't even know that yet, but I'm getting a better and better idea of it with each passing week. And with each passing week -- sometimes even each passing day! -- I learn new things about myself and I gain new insights, all through the process of allowing the Lord to work in my life, as I work alongside Him, instead of against. I pray for you and your journey to wellness too, Alberta. It IS attainable! Congrats on making the first steps it takes to get there. And congrats on the wonderful weight loss! :-)

Yay, Alberta! Hopefully you, like me, will be able to get away from the meds as you get healthier. I was blessed in that way! Best wishes to you for continued success.
