Hi All,
My name is Amy and Im 26 almost 27 in Feb. I have a young two year old son and currently am going through a divorce. My parents and family have been a huge support. I've always had a love/hate relationship with food and my body has shown it with going up and down in weight. I am now at my hugest and its humiliating 221 lbs,I've always been a litle thick but never like ths. I need to get it under control and get serious. I also work in a hospital and want to be a good role model for my patients. Please add me. I would love some encouragment. Also Happy Holidays!!
Amy

  • Hi Amy.
    That's great that you're here to make a change.
    I've been working at this for 10 months now, and I'm so glad that I woke up one day and decided it had gone too far. That's how I got into counting calories too. Now I'm down significantly (my lowest so far is pretty close to your highest though!) and feeling a lot better.
    I'm happy to welcome you to MFP. Good luck with your weight loss journey and don't forget the way you're feeling now - it's great motivation.
