[color=#993366][size=4][font=comic sans ms', cursive]I am blissfully married to my best friend and high school sweetheart, Ryan! :wub: We have been trying to start a family (the non-furry kind) for quite some time and have been unsuccessful :( I have always been pretty active through my school years but have struggled with my weight through my teens and it has escalated out of control since my HS graduation. I am a registered nurse in the ER and on the Cardiac Unit and realize I am NOT a good example to my patients! I have my own heart problems and had open heart surgery as a young child. Though I lack many of the "Obesity co-morbities" that many speak of, I fear that my excess weight will ruin my health and destroy my dreams of motherhood. So here I am... a decision has been made: that no matter what the cost, no matter how long it takes, I am going to get healthy again!!! :D [/font][/size][/color]
