Hello my MFP family. I have been on MFP before and lost over 60 lbs, but due to medications, stress of life, etc - I have put over half of my weight back on (no excuses - I could have changed things). I have been through mental issues which caused me to become suicidal, so I was put on anti-depressants. Now, I have been medication free for a few months. Then, I had a knee injury (was hit by a car) and had to have gallbladder surgery. I allowed my eating to get out of control. I just got back from my first Disney trip, and some of those picks scared me. I don't recognize myself anymore. I miss the old me when I was a size 8 before putting half my weight back on. I have started back fresh today - updated all my numbers and I am hitting the gym for the first time tonight since having my gallbaldder surgery. I am still smaller than what I was back in Sept 2010, but I miss the old me.

DETERMINATION IS KEY! I am also a single mom of 2 toddlers, and I am the ONLY parent they have left. I NEED to do this for myself and my kids, PERIOD!!

So, here I am starting fresh and my goal is to lose 30 lbs before I turn 30 in Jan. Who is with me?? I would love to add some new, motivated and encouraging friends. Please feel free to add me!
