Introducing Myself

edited September 19 in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I have found my way to this site via a Jenny Craig consultant. I have always struggled with my weight somewhat, but have always been extremely active and could manage it through activity. However, last September I fell off my horse and broke my foot in two places and fractured my pelvis, and was non weight bearing for over 20 weeks (hard cast for 14 weeks, walking boot non weight bearing for 7 weeks), and I gained quite a bit of weight over the course of 5 months. I don't know if I've ever felt so bad about myself, but am hoping that I can get active again and lose at least 30 pounds--my weight gain is not good for my sport of choice--equestrian. My friends took pictures of me my first time back on my horse, and I just couldn't believe how heavy I'd gotten. Anyway, glad to be here, and hoping to become a success story.
