Introduction - Chris in San Francisco

dblosmith

Hello all. I'm Chris from San Francisco. I'm 29, college student, and I work in the medical field. I've been overweight all my life, but every time I tried to diet, I'd end up GAINING weight. Well, fruit juice is healthier than soda, right? So I could just drink as much as I want... or so I thought. I soared to 365 at the beginning of 2011 and I made my last hail Mary before I'd decide to get gastric bypass. I logged on to MFP and bought a $200 recumbent bike. It's amazing how quickly daily calories add up. I ended up losing 120lbs in 2011 and despite gaining 20lbs back after letting myself go since the holidays, I'm still much slimmer than I was when I graduated HS.

I'm new to the forums and I'm glad I discovered it. I'm up for making friends, cross-motivating, and swapping recipes. I am a bit tired of cereal/oatmeal/grits for breakfast and cold turkey sandwiches. Feel free to say hello or add me as a friend.

Cheers!
