Starting over again

Hello everyone, I am not new on MFP but I am starting over again and it seems like I lost a lot of friends over a period of time so I feel like I am doing this on my own. A little back round. Last September I started my journey and I was doing great I lost 28 lbs but what happened you asked. Here is the deal. I decided to quit smoking and I was losing the weight and quitting at the same time but it seemed like the same day I pulled that last patch off, my metabolism stopped and there went my self confidence, so I decided to quit for a few months and start again when I was ready. That was January, so a few months turned into more than 6 months and then I decided in May to take the birth control shot. And as you know the shot can make you gain weight as well. So with a combination of quitting smoking/poor decisions/laziness/birth control shot, I have gained back the weight I lost plus some. Lets just say I lost 28 lbs and gained back 40. Well I started a week ago and my first week I lost 10.9lbs. Excited as I am, I have no one to say good job but my boyfriend and here I am asking for new friends so feel free to add me. I love new friends
