Texan, and glad to have found you all!
What draws me in is a group of people putting real effort into their own health and lending a hand to everyone else doing the same.
Standing 5’2”, the scale has sat at 150 pounds for three years — chronic pain from four back surgeries is what caps how much I can move. Doing this the natural way has been the goal, and under my circumstances this looks like the ceiling of what's possible solo. Limited mobility makes me feel boxed in, and my calories can only drop so far before hunger alone turns me cranky and irritable — then pile chronic pain on top of that. Oye!
As the username says: hope is what brought me. Where to begin is a mystery to me, which is exactly why I signed up — the plan is to learn, then pass that on and help somebody else down the line. Community means precisely that. Anyone else living with chronic pain has my sympathy, and I hope this place has been a help to you.
