Hi everyone. My name is Lisa. I currently weigh 332.8. I hope to eventually get down to 150. I have a long hard journey ahead of me. I am an emotional eater. I also love to nibble on things throughout the day. I have been overweight my whole life. My weight really picked up after I started having children. I have a lot of different health issues now and mobility is really becoming a serious hurdle for me and if I don't do something now I'm afraid that I'll get to the point where I can't. I have a good support system at home. My hubby is also overweight and is doing this journey with me. I know with him here helping me and making me accountable and helping me work through things and helping me change the way I think of food will help alot. I was using MFP last year. I lost 56 pounds. I got pretty sick and was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I got depressed and honestly just stopped caring. I stopped going to the gym and watching the amount I ate. I have gained that weight and then some since stopping MFP. I have had time now to come to terms with things and am now in the right frame of mind to move forward with my life and push through and get my health under control. I started a new Profile on MFP and am looking for any of my friends from before that are still active or new friends that are active to help me in my journey. I still have my YMCA Membership. I also pulled out my Food Scale and my Polar FT7 Watch. We can do it together. Looking forward to a new me for 2014.

Hello Lisa!! Welcome back! I did the same thing, lost 42 lbs last year and then moved, started a job I hated and yada, yada, we all know the story!! LOL Anyway, I created a new profile as well and started my new journey in October. I have been on and off plan and switched recently from low carb to weight watchers which I am rather enjoying. I plan on joining the YMCA as well next week. I am currently switching jobs through a transfer and will be going to a 3p-11p shift which will allow me HOURS of water aerobics YAY!!! I am very excited about that and absolutely cannot wait!.
I will send you a friend request as right now, we are very close to the same weight. I weighed in at 325 this morning (my start weight was 345). Again welcome back!!!

Yay Lisa! It's always okay to come home!

I'm glad you're here with us. I'm actually ordering the Polar watch this week! I looked into the FitBit, but found it was very similar to a step counter. I was accurate calories burned. Do you like yours?
Again, welcome back!0
