Hello out there...

PrettyBirdieGirl

My name is Robin and I have a weight problem. There...I said it...It's taken a while for the light bulb to come on, but it has. I am having weight loss surgery on Oct 15 and my counselor suggested MY Fitness Pal as a great tool to help me along the journey.

I will be getting a lap band on 10/15 and I am scared and thrilled at the same time.I have type 2 diabetes and last October I had a heart attack at age 47; my family history has me destined for another --I say NO WAY!

I would love to share this experience of real weight loss with anyone who is interested, so let me know. My husband and friends are very supportive, but there's nothing like talking to someone who is going thru the same thing as you!

Welcome to my life...
