Hi all,

I'm new. this whole weight thing is all new to me. I have always been in great shape, ran 5 miles a day, worked out, yada yada yada. My partner and I adopted two special needs kids and the stress became at times unbearalbe. With that, I started to stress eat and cant stop. I had no time for the gym, run, or anything. I am now almost 260 lbs. I cant even walk down the street without huffing and puffing....

So I joined here to read and learn from the pros on weight loss. I gotta do something since now my kids are doing really well, and the stress, well, it isnt that stressful anymore.

Hi sloane,

Glad to hear the kids are doing well. I'm an adpotive parent of a special needs child, too. He's now 22 yrs old and is about to graduate from college.

Great to hear you're going to take charge of your health. About 13 years ago I lost 100 pounds, and I've maintained the loss every since. I do it with the Zone diet and lifestlyle. It also eliminated my high blood pressure, and my doctor took me off the two high BP meds I was taking. I've been off the BP meds for almost 8 years and that feels great. If you want to find out more about the Zone, take a look at Zonediet.com
