Hello All!!
I have had a MFP for quite some time, but i never really got invovled with the msg boards until now. I realized these boards might be the most important part of the weightloss process.
Here is my story... I am 25 years old and about 9 years ago I lost my father to cancer. I got real depressed and gained about 30 lbs in a very short time. My heaviest was 187 and now I am down to about 166 after 9 years of struggling with weight loss and weight gain. (I am the queen of Yo-Yo'ing) I had one of those feelings where I had that hole in my heart that I just couldn't fill, so I would just eat and eat to make myself "feel better."
Here I am and I am making the best progress that I have ever made in my life and I was hoping to make some friends to support me as well as people that I can support.
