Hello everyone

bethygirlie

Hello, everyone - my name is Beth. I am from Pittsburgh, PA. I have a long story to tell but I'll try to summarize it. I used to weigh 405 pounds in 2001. I ended up in a coma for 4 days and was in the ICU for 10 days because of my blood sugar being 1100. My labs were all out of whack. I ended up losing 250 pounds but toward the end of the 250 pounds lost was an unhealthy streak - restricting my calories down to 500 per day, overexercising, etc. I ended up gaining 100 of the 250 I lost back. I've lost 13 pounds so far of the 100 I need to lose but I'm using MFP to help me log everything I eat so that I don't overeat and end up back on the wrong track again. I need to be steadfast and lose this weight healthily so that I can keep it off this time. But yeah, I still have lost 170 pounds since my highest weight. I am looking for support here to keep myself accountable and hopefully make some new friends that are in the same boat as me (or a similar boat, lol).. it's nice to meet you all. I hope that I can reach my goal in a healthy way.
