Lizette's here!

Hi guys and dolls!

I first wanna thank Stephne for the idea of the Biggest Loser Challenge for us.  Secondly, this was not the hardest decision I made this year, simply because my health depends on my losing weight (or maintaing it, for that matter).

So, a little back history on my end:

I am a thyroid disease survivor and a diabetic.  The reason for my saying I'm a thyroid disease survivor is that I've kicked my hyperthyroid disease (Grave's) in its nuts when I got diagnosed with diabetes; which is a weird way of saying my diabetes has 'taken away' my thyroid issues... but I digress.

So, I've been managing both my health issues (gifts, really) since November 2000.  I really can say I was blessed with these gifts because now I have an excuse to really take care of myself and watch what I eat. BUT! Lately I've been really lacking in my discipline and my blood sugars are up so high that it's like the Dow Jones made money - the bad kind of money.

When Stephne's idea came around some weeks ago, I jumped at the chance to get support from you and to tell myself, "It's OK to let something go in your life. It might as well be your weight!" With this said, I wanna get encouraged and also support you all in this challenge we've been given!

I'll post pictures up soon.  Promise me you won't laugh.  But you're more than welcome to point and stare. XD

I do want to know if you have any recipes that have worked for you, or any exercises that have also worked for you.  I'll also post articles that might help out as well for us as a collective.

Whelp.  That's it. I'll catch you all really soon!

Happy Losing,

-Lizette
