SLouWE

Hi everyone! I'm SLouWE and I'm 33 years old. I'm starting (again) to get serious about weight loss, as I'm the heaviest I've ever been. My weight gain started about 3 years ago after I got married, then quit smoking, then my father passed away. Since my wedding I've gained about 45 lbs. My main pitfalls are alcohol, salt, dairy and laziness. I've recently become belay certified at a local rock climbing gym and have really been enjoying climbing with my best friend, and I'm planning on that being a good jump start to a healthier me!

Last time I was on MFP, I didn't bother to come to the community. I'm much more open to other's suggestions nowadays, and I look forward to getting to know everyone!
