Hello there.
My name is Jen and I am new here, obviously. Last year I lost a total of about 39 lbs, which felt great.
Since then, I have suffered a back injury - disk bulging on nerves.
I am supposed to have surgery September 3, and I've been on pain relievers for about 3 months. I've gained back about 15 lbs and I am really frustrated and my self-esteem is tanking.
I am still exercising, but I think the pain pills aren't doing me any good. I want to get back on track because I feel like crap.
I'm looking forward to feeling good again.
