I am looking for support and positive encouragement. Add me as a friend if you are looking for the same thing.
My story,
I have attempted to use MFP several times over the past year. Although, I feel encouraged this time and have tracked consistently for 3 days now! I feel as though I have reached rock bottom with my weight gaining. I realized I was 5 lbs short of weighing 200 lbs. I am 5’1 and 28 years old. This is terrible because I want to have children within a year and I have a serious family history of diabetes. I feel unhealthy too and my gut gets in the way of my day to day comfort. I don’t need a scolding about eating better and exercising more, just positive encouragement.
