So Happy to be Here!

Hello to everyone here at MFP. I have been tracking since 6/23, but want to participate and offer/receive support. I began my journey January 2010 while persuing weight loss sugery. I was well into my workup and had a surgery date set. During one of the final tests, I was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer with liver metastasis. My dreams were dashed, or so I thought. I had sugery to remove the primary tumor, but not much can be done for the liver tumors. Fortunately I was able to get in a clinical trial fot treatment. This is not an 'oh poor me story' though. I figured this was the time to get as healthy and strong as I can be. In the past year I have lost 110 pounds and have struggled through every ounce of the weight loss. I am also increasing my exercise and activity and currently beginning to train for a half marathon in February. I am so grateful that a coworker introduced me to this site to help me on my journey. This is just the tool I was needing, but then I started reading the forums and really felt compelled to become a participating member. Your stories, trials and tribulations and successes have all touched me and made me want to be a part of this community. So, hello to all and good luck to eveyrone on our journies.
