Hi Everyone...I was here on MFP from last January through August and maybe a few times in between. My starting weight was 264, I got down to 238 and then I got sick with diverticulosis. I couldn't tolerate food much and the doc told me to eat anything. Of course milkshakes, ice cream and all that came to mind and once I quit my diet it was downhill fast.
In January of this year we joined Planet Fitness and went for a month or so before my partner injured her foot and we stopped going. We also have 2 kids who will be 13 in 2 weeks and of course that makes life INSANE as well.
By May I was up to 260 again. Then I was put on Neurontin to replace Lyrica for peripheral neuropathy and I gained 20lbs by July.
It is now August, I am back on Lyrica (which will still cause weight gain but not as badly) and I am 280lbs. I sprained my ankle pretty severely this week and I am on crutches and at my breaking point.
So, I'm back. I tracked my food for the first time today and I am going to do weigh in tomorrow, as Thursdays were my usual day. I am getting married to my beautiful partner on 10-11-12, so with only 2 months to go, I need to drop as much as I can. I want to look good in my wedding pictures!
Feel free to friend me if you are a good motivator or can simply relate in some way. Thank you in advance.

Howdy! I'd be happy to be friends with you. I'm REALLY active on here (maybe too much given my productivity today!) but my goals are a little different that the usual MFP member. If you check out my profile and you are amenable to being friends I'd love it :-) Good luck!0
