Long standing member who is looking for support

I can't remember the year I started my fitness pal but it's been quite awhile. In 2009 I had lap band surgery, I have very realistic goals when I decided to have surgery. I wanted help getting excess weight off but I had been heavy my whole life so I never had a goal of 115 pounds size 4/6 dreams. I had the hope I would lose 100 pounds and to me a size 14 (not plus) was a dream. I lost 100 pounds in approx 14 months a very healthy slow paced manner and I was estatic. My whole life I had been on a diet and the most I have ever been successful in losing was approx 40-50 pounds and I could never keep the weight off. So after losing a 100 pounds I maintained the rest of the year until I lost my father. Losing my father was sudden and the stress didn't let me eat so I snacked ALOT chips and cookies mainly I eventually gained 20 pounds back. It was my personal struggle and I knew food wasn't going to fill the gaping hole in my heart so I started to get back on track and I eventually lost the 20 pounds but it took me a very long time. After hitting 100 pounds again I had skin removal surgery. I wish it was tummy tuck but I had to much skin to remove, but nonetheless I'm happy. Today August 19, 2013 I'm happy to announce I'm a 110 pounds down size 14/16 not plus, XL and L in most items even won 1 medium shirt

I'd like to lose an additonal 20 pounds and I find myself really needing support. So I'm back on mfp and I want to actively participate again. Add me if you interested. Thx for reading...
