Hey ya'll!!! I'm Amanda, live in Tennessee & am so happy to have found MFP!! I have several medical issues, including Fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism & for the last 5 years have been stuck at 245lbs. I haven't been able to lose (despite several attempts), however I don't gain any weight either. I've plateaued. ugh. Yesterday I once and for all made the resolute decision to regain control of my "me". I've spent the last 7 years sick (6 surgeries in 7 yrs...including brain surgery in '10) and I'm just not comfortable or confident at the weight in which I currently reside. My fibro has me in near constant pain, but I am determined to push through and put my best foot forward. Counting my calories, and exercise. For me it has to be little bits at a time & what my body will allow me to do that day, but I'm starting 5 minutes a day and we'll go from there.

My goal is to lose 85 pounds. The idea of being 160lbs just makes me smile. I look forward to meeting new people and generating a support system. Please feel free to add me as a friend on MFP!!!!

God's many blessings to you all!!!!
