Hi, I'm newish actually. I was a member and lost about 30 lbs of baby weight about 12 years ago. Lots has changed since then. I was seriously ill for several years and the medication I was on (still am) caused me to gain weight. And then I just used it as an excuse. Now I'm right on the cusp of being morbidly obese weighing in at 261 lbs on the day I started (last Friday). I'm 5'8.

The turning point for me has been that we have just come back from a 2 week "holiday" where my back has been hurting every single day. I know there's no point going to a Dr as they will just tell me to lose weight.

So here I am, would love to make some friends for motivation I did last time and it made a huge difference.

    Tried to send you a friend request but can't seem to work out how to do it despite looking for instructions
