Hi everyone. My name is Lisa. I currently weigh 332.8. I hope to eventually get down to 150. I have a long hard journey ahead of me. I am an emotional eater. I also love to nibble on things throughout the day. I have been overweight my whole life. My weight really picked up after I started having children. I have a lot of different health issues now and mobility is really becoming a serious hurdle for me and if I don't do something now I'm afraid that I'll get to the point where I can't. I have a good support system at home. My hubby is also overweight and is doing this journey with me. I know with him here helping me and making me accountable and helping me work through things and helping me change the way I think of food will help alot. I was using MFP last year. I lost 56 pounds. I got pretty sick and was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I got depressed and honestly just stopped caring. I stopped going to the gym and watching the amount I ate. I have gained that weight and then some since stopping MFP. I have had time now to come to terms with things and am now in the right frame of mind to move forward with my life and push through and get my health under control. I started a new Profile on MFP and am looking for any of my friends from before that are still active or new friends that are active to help me in my journey. I still have my YMCA Membership. I also pulled out my Food Scale and my Polar FT7 Watch. We can do it together. Looking forward to a new me for 2014. Please send me a Friend Request we could all use some support.

Good morning, Lisa!
Captivating story and I cannot wait to connect with you for continued support. I, too, am over 300 lbs and understand the mobility issue. Although my weight is equally proportioned and makes me look somewhat slim, it's a struggle to do a lot of things. Good luck with your journey!0 -
you are very welcome to add me but please read my profile first ie MFP friends
good luck with your journey0 -
You've got this Linda... feel free to add me. I dropped my first 15lbs in less than a month with just simple diet change. Of course... since my body's gotten used to it, so my weight has stopped dropping so drastically, but drop it does!0
