Hi!! from Sydney

Hi!!

My name is Rochelle, im 25 and from Sydney Australia!

I hate being fat, and unfortunately I have been overweight ever since I was 2 yrs old. Even though I have never overeaten or done no exercise, I have remained overweight...due to polycystic ovarian syndrome. I have had a lapband, but I had it removed last yr, and three months later in November I had a sleeve gastrectomy done. It was the best decision of my life! I have so far lost 16kgs, however it is considered not fast enough, so I have decided to rejoin MFP and start properly counting calories.

I unfortunately fell off a stepladder whilst at work in 2011, and herniated my L4/5 and L5/S1 spinal discs. I have had numerous microdisctectomies and a spinal fusion, and sadlly am due for another spinal fusion. My neurosurgeon wants me to get to 90kgs before he will operate again...So I really must lose my next 16kgs to reach my preliminary goal of 90kgs, so I can be relieved of my back and leg pain! In the future I want to get to 70kgs, so another 20kgs to go after I reach my preliminary goal...but I know I can do it!!

Anyway, enough about myself! Please introduce yourself to me, I would love to make some friends, here on MFP!!

Cheers,
Rochelle
