in Introduce Yourself
Hey,

I'm Saranna. I'm fairly new and would love some make some more friends here.

A little about me: I'm a former corrections officer and full time writer. I write nonfiction, romance, erotica, urban fantasy and anything else that strikes me. I'm published with Sourcebooks, Kensington, Avon and Ellora's Cave.

And I have 154 pounds to lose. That's a long journey, but I'm determined. I've made a lot of changes in my life, cut everything that didn't make me happy. Stuff, people, things about myself... Now all that's left is this weight. So, that's got to go, too. Even though I'm not happy with my weight, I'm fairly comfortable in my own skin. Although, in my picture I used for this account, I think I look like I'm either going to eat something or break into a rendition of something Elvis. But, I despise having my picture taken...

I have several autoimmune conditions including Celiac and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis which make weight loss a challenge.

Even if we don't have the same challenges, I like meeting new people. Being a writer, I'm kind of a people-watcher. I like seeing things through new eyes and others' experiences. So friend me and tell me about you. :)

    Welcome. I'm 37 and from Australia. I'm in this journey for the long haul - I have another 73 lbs to go (have lost 21 lbs so far) to hit the top of my healthy weight range for my height and when I get there I'll decide if I want to lose any more or not.
    I don't have any significant health issues that have been diagnosed anyway - I have odd symptoms that happen that the dr's can't explain or put it down to me being "overweight". Feel free to add me too if you like - always happy to build up my network of friends on MFP that have their own journey to complete :)
