hi.

i'm junerenee. i am not a big user of message boards, but let's see if i can get into it...

i have been using the myfitnesspal ap on my phone for a couple weeks now and love that almost every food that i enter is there for me.

i have over 100pounds to lose, and i am seriously considering lap-band surgery. i have to lose 27 pounds and finish 6months with a dietition before i can have the surgery--that gives me time to know if it really is the right decision for me. i am a registered nurse and i absolutely know the risks of the surgery, but i also know the risks of obesity.

so--here i am. i'd love to get to know you and maybe we can do this together.

let's do this!!

    Good luck!

    This is my first step today to losing 100+ lbs and am hoping I can achieve it on my own.
