Looking for active members!

I'm just starting on this site today. I've got about 60 pounds to lose myself. I have been able to lose weight in the past successfully, but since having my gall bladder out in December 2011, I have put on 50 pounds and have not been able to get it off. I have had tests run for thyroid issues, diabetes, premenopause (my mom and sister both went through menopause at my age - 39), and no one can figure anything out. I have tried Weight Watchers again, which is what has worked for me in the past, and it simply won't work anymore. Diet and exercise don't seem to work anymore either. I've recently seen many of my friends and family members losing with Plexus Slim, but after two and a half months, I've seen no difference at all -- quite depressing, to say the least. My doctor prescribed Phentermine at one time, and while it helped me maintain my weight, it didn't help with weight loss -- even though I was eating healthy and exercising. I've now been prescribed Topamax and have heard many horror stories, and I'm at my wits' end! I'm here to give support and ask for it when I need it. Looking forward to this great community of folks!

Good luck on your journey!
I log in everyday & offer supportive info.

Welcome Fellow Michigander! I'm near Grand Rapids, and I'm Almost 4' 11"

It has taken me until the last few years to slowly enjoy exercise and now, finally be in a routine and like it. I'd love to help. We can get your motivated to try something you have already! Or you've never found the right 'fit'.

I also dislike cooking and have limited knowledge on foods... frustrating when people put up recipes and you don't have a clue half of what they are talking about. LOL and haven't taken the time to learn it.

Hey Im recently new to this but Ive been logging on for the past month. Feel free to add me!

Hello, I'm Amy, I'm 45 and I need to lose 77 pounds to get to my goal weight. My initial goal is just to get below 200 I have 32 pounds to go. I'm involved in a fitness challenge group that is helping motivate me. I'm going to the gym trying to be more active. I use a fitbit. It is hard because I have a desk job. I'll take all the support I can get and I will give as well as I get.
Thanks
Amy

Hey! Congrats on taking the plunge and making the move to get back into shape, I wish you luck! I'm in the U.K, have used the MFP app and website for over 12 months but have just started getting into the forums today! I was fairly sedentary after a job-change, I was staying in hotels 5 days a week and my diet got lazy (easliy done being a billy-no-mates all week!). I changed jobs again, since June I'm at the Gym three days a week weight training and have just started getting back into some serious cardio. I love cooking, so if you need some help or advice with quick easy meals let me know! Good luck and see you around!

I am on everyday and try to be very supportive, when I can. I have loads of weight to loose. I am very opinionated. Anyone not selling something can feel free to add me.
