Starting over again

amandammmq

Hey all, I've been a member of MFP for about a year, and have had some ups and downs. Despite gaining almost all of the weight back that I had lost last year, I am NOT ready to give up on myself!

I wrote a (kind of long) blog post today to help introduce myself, share my story, and hopefully open the door for some new friends.

Not sure I mentioned it on the blog... but I'm currently 39 (turning 40 in exactly 2 weeks, woo), 5'11", 201.5 pounds, hoping to lose anywhere from 30-50 pounds. I have a small frame despite being so tall.

I'd love friends with some similar goals and stories, but I figure I could use all of the support I can get! Make a friend request, include a little bit about yourself, and let's help each other!
