    • About Me

      I'm 21, hoping to lose about 70 POUNDS (YIKES) over the next 6 months - 1 year. I'm in a great marriage with a wonderful guy... He is truly the love of my life!! I joined this website for the diet/fitness aspect mostly. I know that I am at my largest right now and only I can do something about it. I want to be healthy! I also want to lose weight for when my husband and I try for children. I know that I don't want to start out being heavy before I even conceive! That would make for a ROUGH pregnancy! I'm looking for online support to help me through this long difficult journey and I'm here for anyone that needs the help as well. We can do this!

      Had a weight problem all my life... have done atkins, gained it back, tried south beach, and now I'm looking for something with LONG TERM progress.

      Treatments

      SparkPeople Working / Worked
      So far it's been excellent. Great way to track things.
    • Close Asthma
      Type: Adult Asthma

      Have had asthma since I was in the 1st grade. Was told I would grow out of it, but alas, I did not! Being overweight does not help...

      Treatments

      Advair Working / Worked
      Used for a short time but had to quit b/c of price, worked well for me.
      Inhaler Working / Worked
      Use this quite often and it helps.
    • Open Obesity

      I've always been overweight... I'm bigger now than ever before and so is my BMI.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Considering
      Physical Exercise Considering

      Outbreaks of Eczema from time to time. Not as often from when I was younger.

    • Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      Never been formally diagnosed. My sister has and I have the same symptoms as her and so does my mom

    • Open Oral Herpes

      Had "Fever Blisters" come up on my lips for as long as I can remember... I always have at least one breakout a year--usually at the worst times! Very annoying and embarrassing.

      Treatments

      Zovirax Working / Worked
      I can tell a difference in the healing time slightly, but still not as fast as I would like it to be.
      L-Lysine Not Working
      Didn't work too well for me.
    • Open College Stress

      Chose to attend a smaller community college I think because I was scared of a bigger college--now I've chosen to go to the bigger University to further my education and am scared to death.

      Treatments

      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      Hearing others tell me that I can do it is ok... but I just have social fears and fears in general!
