Newby Roxanne Saying Hi

MamaBearRoxi

Hi, I'm Roxanne. I gained 100 pounds after we lost our daughter 4 yrs ago, and I am finally on the path toward wellness. Losing weight is a huge part of that. I can use all the support I can get. .

So sorry for your loss. You're in the right place now though. Best wishes for success!

Hi, Roxanne. I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine the grief and am happy for you that you’ve decided to take things in hand.

Stress, grief, worry, anger, fear, anxiety- all can sure contribute to weight loss.

Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help or support you on the way.

Sending a friend request. Not the best of friends, but I’ve found that just seeing what friends are up to, admitting temporary failures, celebrating success, and reaching goals or accomplishments is very helpful.

I’ve also personally found that engagement in these boards has been instrumental in my success (and I count maintenance as the biggest success of all).

You get out of the app what you opt into it, and it’s a truly kind and thoughtful and supportive bunch’s folks here.

Hugs!

Thank you both! I am struggling through medical challenges and chronic pain, and will have to make it through two surgeries (back and gut) and the recovery process while trying to get well this year, so it feels really daunting sometimes. I feel like a seasoned warrior that has been broken by life but refuses to give up lol. Not sure how smart that is, but here I am...

I don't see a friends list anywhere on my profile - any advice on how to locate that?
