My name is Christina and I am in the midst of transfroming my life for the better...

I am looking to make some great MFP friends to share in support and encouragement!! I am really getting into the swing of things and working toward bettering myself. I would love some like-minded MFP friends to bounce ideas off of and to reciprocate some positive ju-ju!

I have always struggled with my weight and in 1999 I had gastric bypass surgery when I was 19. I lost a majority of my weight I went from a size 28-30 to a size 10. I have slowly been gaining back weight and I am now back to a 18...this scares me and I am making an ACTIVE step in changing my lifestyle.

Highest Weight: 293

Lowest Weight: ?? I didn't have a scale, but I'm guessing around 150ish.

Current Weight: 222

Goal Weight: 135

    I just started on here... I lost weight back in 2009. 65 lbs in 4 months. So I know how to do it. But it is a little harder this time because I am not as unhappy as I was then.
    I was 245 then... I got down to 180 by 12/25/2009 and have mostly kept it off. I am starting at 189 and want to get down to 135 to 140 also. Add me if you like. I am right across the river.

    Welcome! you have had a tough road!
    So I don't know how much I could help you. If you want to message me and let me know what we can do for each other and what you have been doing that would be a great start. I just joined a challenge group and if you would want to do the same things we are doing you could. i am the leader of my team and we could encourage each other on the sidelines.
