    Default Hello from a lurker.

    Hi, I have been lurking and reading the various posts. Yes,I am an admitted lurker! I like to have my ducks in a row before making a commitment. I am 52, a breast cancer survivor, mom of 2 and wife of 1! My husband is very supportive as long as I am healthy.
    I am so excited to get this process started again. I began last July(2012). I found the cancer August 2012. My primary care doctor decided it would be better to put it off. Ok, so I was a little miffed,but, understood. I now have everyone's blessing and getting on track again. I am currently going through the insurance prelims. We will see what is what.
    I have always been "big". I am not overly vain and not in this for my looks. I want a healthier life. I am generally an easy going person. But, I get very ticked when I get short of breath after a 4 block walk. My feet and legs hurt.
    I appreciate this forum and the support you give each other.
    Thanks for your time and unknowing support to a lurker!

    Welcome to site. Though as you were a lurker you likely know the site quite well. I was a lurker for a while and didn't post until I had made an appointment with my doctor.

    Good luck on your journey.
