Back for Another Success Story

BajaDreamin333

I joined MFP in 2013 and had HUGE success, losing 20 lbs really quickly, getting within 5lbs of my goal weight and looking way younger than I was. I was fit, thin, looked and felt great. Then I hit 50, had a major shoulder surgery, all activity was restricted, and gained it all back. I gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted (feeling sorry for myself, and self-medicating with food) and just can't seem to get back on track. I am determined to find the motivation I know MFP can provide, and motivated friends are key. I am ready to be the best I can be, at 50 and beyond. I love the accountability MFP provides, and having a support system works! I'm getting cleared for more and more activity every day, and look forward to getting back to weight training, Pilates, yoga, kick boxing and all the fun physical stuff that is out there. I love being active and eating right - but I can't do it alone.
