Hello
Hi, everyone! I've been using MFP for about a month, but I'm just now delving into the forums. I've lost about 50 pounds already, but I have about 90 more to go.

Joined last week.
I've been serious about losing weight (again) starting Jan. 5th. I have gallbladder disease so I've been watching what I eat and it's good incentive to eat well. I'd like to lose 30lbs total by the beginning of summer, and I joined the site to help me get there. I look forward to getting a lot of good tools and advice here…
