OK, so now that my first post went through (was having difficulties) I will post my introl
My name is Linda, I am 51 years old. My husband and I just moved from Chicago, to southeastern Indiana by Louisville, KY. We went from the hectic city and bought a 70 acre farm. We really love it here. It is so peaceful.
I have given up my Harley and now have 3 beautiful horses to play with.
This is the first time in 20 years that I'm not working a full time job outside the home and it is totally wierd.
One of my dreams is to open an animal shelter. I am currently looking into how to get funding and support. Any suggestions would be welcome. I am also try to sell earth friendly products as well as make baskets with spa things in them. It is hard for me to not try to make some sort of money.
So anyway I am glad I found this group as I am desparately trying to loose weight. I am currrently going through peri-menopause and have gained weight and have had a wonderful weight shift LOL. I quit smoking the beginning of this year so I know that has not helped as I am always looking to be munching on something. I'm looking for a low fat diet as I have a real sensitive tummy and going through the change is making it worse. I have gerd and bile gastritis which will give me symptoms of having a heart attack at times which sends me into a panic attack.........viscous circle.
I hope to meet others for friendship and support.
My weight now is 235 lbs. This is the heaviest I have ever been

and my first goal is to get down to 180 lbs. Hope to hear from others.
Thanks for letting me part of the group.
Linda
