I just wanted to introduce myself. I have had success with MFP in the past, but never used the message boards, and now I'm looking forward to adding this to help myself and others along.
I'll try to keep this short. I am 36. My heaviest weight was around 280 about 12 years ago. Around 11 years ago I was down under 220. Since then I have been gradually gaining it back. Over the first 8 years I was up to 250ish. The last few years have been the worst and over the holidays I was up to 275 - just 5 lbs shy of my heaviest weight. Now that I'm 12 years older I can feel the affect the weight has on my body.
So the journey begins again.
