Sorry I accidentally made two posts IGNORE THIS ONE

I have not been using this app as consistently as I should and so I just found now, today, there's communities! I'm so excited yay! I went from 120lbs and modeling for Bebe to having a shoulder injury, that I still suffer from and need surgery on, and just recently being diagnosed with lupus. Then I got out of a coma in March 2014 at 200lbs. The one good thing that came out of my ex BF (lol) who wanted to help me was that he showed me my sugar intake was too high. I shed about 15 pounds after the coma but was still at 185 until I met my ex. Ever since December of 2015 till today, I have lost 60+ pounds. I am now 148lbs and I may not be at my ideal weight however, I am so happy because due to my pain levels and lupus, weight loss has been extremely hard.
I can say one thing for sure: pushing me to lose weight didn't help. HELPING me and encouraging me helped. I would honestly get mad when friends or family members would make comments about my weight and how I need to lose a lot. Just being there and encouraging one another is the ,honest to God, key to helping one another.
Much love.
