Katie Elswick Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Well my name is Kat, I'm 21, and I'm starting my weight loss journey (again).I've always struggles with my weight due to a couple of health conditions.(Type one diabetes, the kind that is not weight related and PCOS) My weight has been all over the place the past few years. I'm 5'9 and have went From 93 lbs, to 130, to 250, to 160, and now I'm at 194 again. I'm ready to change my life style permanently and live a long happy life. I've returned to the gym and have cut out red meats and processed foods. So far I feel pretty great and I'm working on cutting out cigarettes.I don't want to do further damage to my kidneys and I want to control my sugars, because it has taken a huge toll on my health and I'm so young. I also don't want to be the first to go in the event of a zombie apocalypse. Any who nice to meet you all and I look forward to posting [emoji75] Quote Link to comment

AmberAgain Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I'm brand new here, too. We've cut out most of the processed foods a well, though giving up meat isn't for us!
