in Introduce Yourself
I'm 32 and have been overweight most of my life. Like everyone else I've been on one diet after another only to regain the weight I'd lost. So on July 16th I decided to have the lap band surgery. So now here I am 45 lbs down and still going. So far it's been a hard but well worth journey.

I'm looking forward to making new friends and getting and giving support.

    Hi there - good for you for doing that. I looked at that option but it was simply too costly for me to consider. I'm struggling with my weight like crazy - only since I hit 40 - before that it was never a huge issue - so I'm really frustrated. I've got about 60 pounds to lose and just feel like it's an insurmountable task. I'm hoping this tracker tool and the community will be the trigger that helps me to get some traction. Good luck!
