    • About Me

      I've been overweight for more than half my life. I watched both of my parents health fail starting with diabetes and both ending with heart disease. I do not want the same fate. I have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, and back & joint pain. I want to be healthy!! I want to be around to enjoy my grandson. I want to be here for my family. I want to be active and live as full a life as possible.

    • Interests

      I love spending time with my grandson, Aiden and my new granddaughter, Aubrey Jayne. They are a big reason for me wanting to get healthy. I like to read, watch crime dramas, and I really enjoy watching my kids play sports. I also enjoy redecorating my house.

    • Thanks

      From kimol40 October 21

      Thanks Vicki! I haven't been on DS much lately either. I haven't been doing the greatest with my foods or exercising lately. Been pretty sick a lot lately and very depressed too. The Dr has changed my medicine and that is helping some now. But my teeth are so infected the effect everything I do! I don't eat near enough at all and that isn't good either. So I really need to get back on track some how! Hugs Kim
