Hello... I am looking for positive people who are looking for mutual support on their weight loss journey! I love people that have a happy and positive outlook on life... & know that when I am in this frame of mind anything is possible! I found myself a bit down lately and gaining weight has not helped. I would like to work towards a happy and healthier me... & would love any friendship, support and feedback that could be given! I, of course would do the same.

A little background... I am 40 & currently weigh 192. I think I feel my best when I weigh around 150, but it has been awhile since I have been there... So I will just have to see what feels right as I go along.

I am recovering from my second back surgery in 1.5 years. Unfortunately I cant exercise for the next 3 - 4 months, but I am hoping to find people that are in (or have been in) similar situations to inspire and support. I have put on 25+ lbs since my accident and have been feeling a bit down. I am ready to make a change and know that I can begin to feel better by eating better and being positive!

    Welcome! I've had back issues in the past - fortunately no longer. Broke my collarbone badly about 10 months ago and am just now getting back to the gym - although not as serious as back surgery, I know the depression associated with inactivity and it's pretty common after any surgery. Feel free to add me!
