Can I get a WOO HOO?!!

My name is Lynn. I live north of Pittsburgh. I've been married to my husband, Ray, for 26 years. We have 3 kids, Raymond, Kevin and Elyse, all in their 20's.

Time to update!
I still have MS, but I'm doing as well as I can. The early heat this year really got to me so I joined the YMCA so I can work out indoors during the hot months. (We don't have air conditioning.)

My DVT (blood clot from groin to ankle) and PE's (pulminary embolisms) are finally gone after ...

My DVT (blood clot from groin to ankle) and PE's (pulminary embolisms) are finally gone after 6 long months! No more compression stockings!

I'm down 40 pounds since I started. I'm proud to say, no diet, just lifestyle changes. And I love working out again! My sister is my "work out buddy." We have really been motivating each other. She's hooked on Sparkpeople now too! My family is really on board too. The men in the house are now used to turkey burgers and super skim milk:-)

My 26 year old son has totally joined me in living the Sparkpeople way! He's already lost 25 pounds!

Wish me luck staying relapse free and healthy!

Hi Lynn!
When I read your quote today in the daily spark I gasped! When I was diagnosed with MS, I also stopped setting goals for myself. It wasnt until I joined SP that I started trying to incorporate goals into my life again. It was great seeing someone who felt similarly! Hope your doing well! Congratulations on your Weight loss!

Hi - Thanks for reading & commenting on my blog today. No idea how I got a son so old. LOL

Sorry to see that your DH is not feeling well. Hope you can help care for him while keeping yourself healthy.
