... and hopefully less round by the end of the year!

Hello all. I am "Bear"

I have just joined MFP and am familiarising myself with the site. It looks like a fantastic resource and having spent some time already reading the forums I am really excited about joining such a helpful and supportive community.

Unlike many on the site I am not dieting unaided but have just had a band put in (a day before my Birthday, Happy Birthday to me!) at the moment I am still rather sore and am still on a liquid diet. I currently weigh 151Kg but weighed 162kg at my heaviest just over 2 months ago. My main initial goals are to get myself under 127Kg (20st) and then to get myself out of the clinically obese BMI bracket. Obviously ultimately I am looking to returning to a healthy weight.

At the moment I feel like I have taken a big first step but I know there will be lots of challenges ahead. Hopefully in this forum I can share both the positives and negatives and also support others going through the same/similar process.

Tl;dr ... I am fat, I am aiming to be thinner BUT whatever size will always give quality Bear hugs*! :happy:
*virtual ones if needed.
