Hello, My name is Debra, and this is kind of my story..... my weight story anyway...
I have been as heavy as 198, and lost 70 pounds, 4 yrs ago I got up to 163 and lost 31, this year I made it to 158 before I started fighting back, so maybe I am getting smarter in my old age! Or I just know that it is only going to get harder at this age to keep bouncing back..... I am now 153, yesterday when I started mfp I was 151..... don't ask because I couldn't even tell you why! lol and it doesn't really matter because as long as I keep working at it.... it will keep going down! I still have 71 calories left for today and am so proud. Thank you to all my new friends for words of encouragement and support! You all rock! This time I am shooting for 123. wootwoot Thanks again! Debra
