Hi there, new to MFP, hoping to make friends and build a support network. A little about me…..
I was 298 lbs at my heaviest about 12 years ago. I had lapband surgery and got down to 215. Over the next several years I regained 35lbs. Last year I really put my mind to eating healthfully, and lost 40lbs with walking and eating well. This year has kicked my *kitten*, including the death of my father. I finally faced the scale this AM 220lbs.
So…..here I am.
Looking forward to connecting to new friends.
