in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I just started using MFP as my full-time weight loss, food, and exercise tracker. So far, so good! I love that the site syncs with my fit bit. Such a time saver.

I lost a little over 80 lbs through diet/exercise between 2008-2009 (used Calorie Count website to track my progress), but due to two back surgeries in less than one year (2011), I have put 50 of the pounds back on and have had a very hard time getting it back off again. Hopefully I am back in the right mental place I was in five years ago, before both back surgeries, so I can be even more successful this time around.

I had some great support from people on Calorie Count back then and I hope to find some great people to connect with here. Having a support system (in person or virtual) really is the best thing about such a long and hard journey.

Stats:

Starting Weight (Jan 2008): 325 lbs
Lowest Weight (Oct 2009): 241 lbs

Current Weight (Apr 2013): 295 lbs
Weight Goal: 175 lbs
Total Weight Loss Goal: 120 lbs

Female - 31 - 6" tall
