Friends with 100+ to lose?

Vyerachka

Hi there! I've been using MFP for several years now, but I haven't been active on the boards before. When I started out, I weighed over 550 lbs -- over the past couple of years, I've lost 227 lbs of that, but still have about as much to go. I'd like some friends who also have "extreme" weight-loss goals (although I'm not absolutely limiting friends to that).

I did have weight-loss surgery (VSG) about 10 months ago, but prior to that I had lost about 130 pounds on my own. I see it as just another tool in the arsenal -- it helps (for now, 18 month grace period) in limiting the amount of food I can eat at any one given time, but it's possible, and quite easy, to cheat it (trust me, I know!). The work of weight loss still has to be done by me, and I believe it's mostly mental: overcoming "fat brain."

Anyway, if you have a lot to lose (or a little, I don't mind), shoot me a friend request. What do you have to lose? ;-)

Did you have any skin removal surgery?
