Hello everyone!

I was a regular on this board last spring. I used to log on as "hope".

I'm 46 yrs. young, still technically a newly wed, (it will be two yrs. on Nov. 4th.)and have two daughters, ages 18 and almost 20. I also have two step-children, ages 10 and 13.(They live in Germany with their mom.)

I was recently diagnosed with MS after a bout with double vision in late June. It feels like I have little control concerning the MS, (I am on a drug therapy that involves daily self-injections,) yet I do have control over what I put in my mouth and O!ing each day. I need your support to stay on track with doing positive things each and every day so that I can be "well" inspite of the MS.

I weigh 186.4 and would like to lose 50-60 lbs. I don't really know an ideal weight...I'd like to let my body decide where it wants to level off. I've been 121 lbs. in my early twenties yet, I had no muscle tone at that time. With good muscle tone I may be just fine at 135 or so.

So glad to be back and see familiar names: Kelly, Merritt, Rose, Margie...sorry if I forgot anyone, memory loss is one of my MS issues!

In His grace,
longing for LEAN!

Hi Jody! As I said in the D2L thread, it's great to have you back again!!

I love the "longing for LEAN" in your signature!! I feel the same way. I just hope my longing can overpower my love of food!!!

Kelly

Nice to see you back.. I am sure that Oxycise can only help you with your MS - We are here for you - support, prayers or just an old fasion kick in the rear.. HA HA

I already said that in another post, but I thought in case you didn't see it, I'd say it again.

Welcome back! Sorry to hear about your MS, but like Margie said, O! can only help, and we're here for all the support you could ever ask for!

Kelly, you're a trip! *lol*
