Hi everyone! I'm Amanda. I'm new to this site coming from another; I think I really like this one better.

A little about me....I've struggled with my weight for years as having been an overweight child. In 2009, I decided to have gastric banding surgery. The process hasn't been as smooth as I had hoped but I have made some progress. I've decided it is time to shake things up so time to get regimented and track my calories (I got away from doing it).

Would love to make some friends on here and help encourage each other as I think my going this alone in the past is part of my downfall.

Thanks! Have a great day!!

    Welcome to MFP. It's a great place to be. I too had weight loss surgery in 2003, but managed to put it all back on. This time I decided to make it a lifestyle change, not a diet. This site has helped me lose 61 pounds since July 4, 2010. Good luck on your weight loss journey. Feel free to add me as a friend and we can help motivate each other.
