Hi, I've been on MFP for a while. My journey has been a long one. I was 485 lbs at my highest weight in 2007 prior to Lap Band. I am now at 361 lbs. I had let my weight climb back up to about 415 lbs last January. Since then I had to start taking insulin for type 2. I taken off about 60 pound up to May. I threw an 8mm Kidney stone. Wasn't able to exercise regularly again until the end of July. Well, no excuses now, I am just getting back into the swing. I would like some encouragement/accountability to keep moving towards my Christmas goal of 30 lbs loss. My goal weight is 220.

    Welcome back! You can absolutely do this. Feel free to add me--I don't have any great advice, but I'll be happy to send an encouraging word if you hit a rough patch.
