Hello MyFitnessPeeps! I'm new here and trying to get refocused and back on track too. At 37 years old and almost 450lbs, i was a ticking time bomb. I had WLS back in 2009 & lost 127 lbs. i did things i've never done before...i went to the gym, i played sports and i was involved in my first Race for the Cure 5k. and MS Walk. I was so proud of myself. I felt so healthy. I felt like i finally beat my weight loss demons and finally just, "blended in." But Over time, unfortunately, I have gained back 50lbs. I feel so embarrassed, defeated, depressed and disappointed in myself. I'm looking for some help, inspiration and motivation and hopefully meet/gain a myfitness friend too!
I started dieting and doing 2000 calories a day. It's a start and I'm hoping it helps me get back down? Feel free to add me.
