I am new to MFP. I have been on here for a week now and i find MFP really helpful and motivating. Over a year ago I had gotten pregnant and 14 weeks later i had miscarried... this was a very hard time for me and i was diagnosed with depression. I can still remember the date it happened May 21, 2012. Our baby's due date was supposed to be on my husbands birthday. I have accepted the fact that it was not the right time, or some way of god telling me his plan for me. A year later I have put on some weight 50 lbs to be exact. Before then i was a real petite girl. 4'11 and only weighed 110 lbs. I am now 160. I cant really see myself getting much bigger...It is already hard on my body, breathing, and even sleeping. I have already lost a few lbs from using MFP, and i am starting to see the brighter side of things. My husband recently joined the military and i want to set a good example for him. I would love to meet some friends on here, hopefully some in my area but any friends are needed, I really dont have any because i have been shut out of the world the past year and a half...Well that is a little bit about me, Anyone wanna add the reason they gained weight? Or why you wanna lose weight?
