Ok so I have struggled with weight my whole life. I had originally joined MFP January 2009 and by June 2009 I had lost 50lbs. However I became comfortable and stopped counting calories, I got a job and I became depressed which caused emotional eating. So here I am not I have gained back the 50 lbs plus an additional 30 lbs. I am at my heaviest of 253.8 lbs. I am 28 with 2 children and I want to be able to be able to enjoy life. My body just aches right now. My back is killing me and I can barely get up the stairs my knees just ache! So I am back and need any encouragment possible. I need a strong support system. I am also looking for a group to join on here for accountability. I am also thinking of joining WW so I can go to meetings and get more support. I will admit that last week I was actually considering Weight loss surgery. I told my family I will try it on my own one more time before I talk to the drs more about surgery. I do not want surgery but that is how much I want this weight off.
