Hi new...sort of...

Hi everyone! I am a 39 yr old SAHM of a beautiful, funny and sweet 2 yr old daughter. I live in PA and looking for other people to connect with while I lose this weight. My boyfriend is great and always tells me I am beautiful and doesn't see why I want to lose weight. I tell him for health reasons and because I want to keep up with our daughter, Michelle, when she gets older. Plus I really don't like how I feel or look right now...but I don't tell him that.

My weight loss journey actually began over a year ago and I was doing really well....and then I had my gall bladder taken out, tons of complications and spent the better part of a month in and out of the hospital. I spent the next six months going to DR's appointments for my surgery...it's been long and hellish, but it's over! I finally feel well enough to start actually losing weight again. Over the last 6 months, I have gained back all of the weight I had lost before.

I am about 5ft 5 inches and weigh about 195. I want to ultimately lose about 50 lbs, but I'm doing it in increments of 15 lbs so that I don't feel overwhelmed at the thought. I can't wait to get to know you all more!! Good luck on your weight loss journeys!
