Hi! I'm Kari.
I'm new here, well I've used mfp for awhile on an old account but never ventured over here to the community.
Last summer I went from 240 to 215 but have stuck around there thanks to lack of self control during the holidays
My whole extended family came up with idea of doing a diet bet (I have a lot of overweight people in my family), and that started last week. My husband and I are both doing it, and we've done really well. We're not following a diet, we're just eating clean. And we're cleaning up our kid's diets too, so it's really a family lifestyle change and that is even more important to me than lbs lost!
Aaaanyway, sorry for the essay. Regardless of all that, I DO need to lose pounds, and a lot of em. I have arthritis and while it's not caused by obesity (it's autoimmune) the extra weight can make the pain worse. But it also makes it really hard to exercise, so...I do what I can.
So I'm hoping to find some additional support here, maybe people that have chronic pain issues?
Thanks!
