Hello Everyone,
My name is Missy and I just got recommended to this site. I am hoping that I can use this as a tool to help me lose my weight with a little bit of motivation and encouragement. I know that without these two things I haven't wanted to do anything to help better myself. Well I am in jeopardy of having to get a full knee replacement and I'm only 32 years old because of the excess weight that I am bearing. Sadly since my last surgery I haven't been able to shed the pounds like before but rather gain them. I am hoping that I can meet some new friends who will help encourage and motivate me just like I can do that back for them. Positive energy in life is better then negative.
