Just wanted to stop in and say hi!
I found this group browsing around the forum and thought I would join. I'm 5'10" and working towards a goal of 175. I'll share what got me motivated, just for the sake of sharing. LOL!
I have a problem with kidney stones, I've had quite a few surgeries over the past few years to have them removed. In January I wound up with an infected stone and kidney infection, then the stone moved and the infection couldn't pass. I spent 4 days in the hospital and the doctor stood at the end of my bed and said "this infection can kill you in a couple hours". I lost 20 pounds in the hospital, but it was getting out of the hospital that was the kicker. I immediately put 5 pounds back on. I realized that I didn't want to go back up, so I got serious about MFP and tracking/exercising. Since then I've lost another 12 pounds. Right now I'm 215, my high was 242.
The doctor seems to think losing weight will help with the stones, and I needed to do it anyway... so here I am!
