Hi everyone, I have been using MFP for over a year and a half. I have in the last few months been trying to get down to business. Just like most of us here sometimes life gets hard and you just loose that motivation. I let my weight go up to 170 pounds. As a 5"1' women that is a weight I am not comfortable a with. I do think it seems to be harder after 40 to maintain an loose weight. I have since October lost 20 pounds and I am starting to feel better and beginning to enjoy the journey. I found out I have to have surgery in a couple of weeks so I am wanting to find friends on here to help keep me motivated. I hope to only be off work a couple of weeks and out of the gym 4 to 6 weeks but at this point that seems like an eternity. I have 30 more pounds to go and know with hard work,strength,and a little encouragement I will prevail. So if anyone would like to add me and give me some encouragement it would be greatly appreciated. I will also be happy to keep to you accountable and on track too. Let's do this together!
