My name is Tina and I turned 39 on Sunday. I decided that this year was going to be the year. Posting on here helps me to commit to it publicly :big_smile:.

My challenges are chocolate! and Fibromyalgia. I have checked with my dr. and walking and stationary bike were what she recommended. We're lowering the amount of meat we eat and whole grains - although I suspect I also have IBS, so I'm not sure what I'm going to have to change in that aspect. I'm going to have to increase my water intake. I drink some, but not enough. I only rarely drink pop, and I'm allergic to most artificial sweeteners. The ones I'm not allergic to taste disgusting to me, so sometimes the snacking is hard to work through. My biggest obstacle is actually motivating myself to get walking or on that bike. I'm hoping that I can get the needed encouragement and support I need here and that I can also be of encouragement and support to others! Tina
