in Introduce Yourself
Morning everyone! My name is Jen. I am 35 from the Buffalo, NY area. Like many of you I have struggled all my life. I even had gastric bypass in 2008. I lost over 100 lbs...kept it off...had a baby in 2010 and gained 20lbs...and here I am. Stuck at the 220 lbs mark. Mini goal for me is to lose the 20. Long term is to drop more. But I really need to focus on the exercise and staying deligent on the food logging. I know accountability is key...and when you are making dinner it is so EASY to taste this and sample that. Looking for support. And if anyone is from the area wouldn't mind a workout buddy once in awhile. Happy Thursday everyone! :smile:

    Hey, I'm in Rochester for part of the year--I'm just trying this tool for the first time, and I know it will be easier to keep logging food and exercise if I have some real people to attach to this site. Feel free to add me anyone and check in on progress, and good luck!

    I'm born and raised in WNY and now living/working in Buffalo. My biggest struggle is binge eating; exercise is the easy part for me. I'm learning to cook healthy, mostly-natural meals that BF and I will like. Also balancing the sweets in the house with my willpower....
