in Introduce Yourself
HI there.

I just recently started using MFP and I'm totally in love with it already!

I had Gatric Bypass Surgery in 2009 and I've lost well over 100 pounds. However, I'm down to my last 20 pounds and they are the hardest! I'm working on my calorie in take and incorporating a lot more exercise. I slacked off a little since I began working again this past 6 months and now I'm back on track.

I recently purchased the Wii, along with the Wii Fit and I'm addicted!! I didn't think it would be possible to love it as much as I do! I also love the Just Dance games and I fully believe they make you sweat harder then the workouts!

Just thought I'd pop in to introduce myself and make a few friends.

Good luck to everyone :)B):D

    Hi there and thanks to you both!

    In regards to the questions from Lloydrt, life has been great since surgery and yes it went very well. They only problem I've had since surgery has been brought on by myself if I eat to quickly and then food seems to feel stuck. But I've learned to pace myself and no scarf things down.

    Good luck with your weight loss!!
