Hello!

Hello Everyone,

I just joined MFP today. I have 80 pounds to lose and am skeptical that I will ever be successful. It seems like I've tried everything only to get very short-lived results. Lots of health problems- ileostomy (I don't have a colon), have lost a few body organs as the result of surviving cancer (yep, I mean from being treated for it, not as a result of the cancer itself). I'm 52 years old and wondering if there is any hope for me to rediscover at least some sort of healthy, strong me. I'm hoping hanging out here might help keep me motivated!
