Hello from Hotlanta! My name is Natifa and I am so excited that I have found this site. I have been telling friends of mine who live in other states that we all need a way to help eachother lose weight from where we are. This site encompasses everything I have been trying to encourage us all to do.
All my life I have always been the biggest person in my circle of friends. From the time I was 14 until I was 22, by pants size always grew with my age - when I was 14 I wore a size 14, when I was 15 Iwore a size 15...
In college I was diagnosed as borderline diabetic. I watched my grandmother suffer through constant needle pricks and trips to the hospital and I did not want to be aapart of those statistics. Also, my mother suffers Kidney failure as a result of high blood pressure I didn't want to join that group either. Shortly, after being diagnosed as borderline diabetic, I was also diagnosed with high cholesterol. Obviously, I needed to lose weight. This was all given to me back in 2004. Fast forward to today, I have gone from 262 lbs. to 226 lbs. It was a struggle to get those pounds off and my goal is to loose a few more, but as it stands I am healthy.
I have joined this site to share my experiences with others, and to learn from other's experiences. I am truly grateful for what I have found in this site and I am looking forward to forging new friendships.
Natifa
