New here

Hi there,

I just joined this site today. I have been slowly, steadily gaining weight and becoming less active ever since I contracted a severe chronic illness in high school. I had a few years where I felt pretty good, but I was already out of shape and didn't really do much. Then I had two years of being incredibly sick, and everything got a lot worse. However, I just recovered from this last bout about two weeks ago. I feel great, and I am ready to tackle what is now the only major obstacle in my life, my weight.

This seems like a fantastic, supportive community and the site has a ton of useful tools. I'm looking forward to getting more involved with the site.

Best,
Ajjaxx
