1G-Ma
Now the reason I am here... #1 
there are a lot of reasons why!!
First and most important because I'm going to die if I don't get this weight off!!
April of this year I was diagnosed with DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) in both legs.............. I came hours from dying before I went to the ER not knowing what was wrong with me.
I had been feeling weak for almost a year and thought it was just due to my size.
Thank God I work in a Hospital and one day I couldn't even make it from my office in the basement to my car out in the garage. Halfway through the medical mall I thought I was going to pass out if I took another step so I turned left and went thru the double doors to the ER. 
They did a lot of Test and hospitalized me a week.. 
finding the DVT's.
The Doctors said if I had gone home odds are Id probably have died within hours..
It scared myself, family & friends to death...
we always know it will happen one day but to know it could have happened and that I could have prevented it!!!
I had to take Lovenox 3 weeks & now 15mg of Coumaden daily!
The Second Reason- I have a wonderful Family 
My loving supportive Husband 
who in the 7 years we have been together has never said a single word about my size or diet....until recently and the single question he ask me now is " Baby can you have this on Coumaden"? Those of you on blood thinners understand... I also have three amazing kids.. 
20, 22 & 23 the two oldest are my sons Jeffery & Mike and the youngest my Baby-girl Suzie Q.. who is going to have that first grand-baby of mine around July 30th this coming year..
I want to play with my Grand-baby! - Not watch it play..
The Third Reason- Come on??? What woman doesn't want to look good...
Last but not Least!! I need u - 
People I can talk to about things like.....
DIETING, EXERCISE, DEPRESSION, LIFE.......
So I'm asking you all to join me in this Journey.... to be Healthy & Happy again..??
Thanks - Tracey
