in Introduce Yourself
so ive been the up down yo-yo all my life. I was doing great when I had gastric bypass in Jan 05 lost 140 pounds , rewarded myself with a full mommy plastic surgery makeover!! I was looking great.. then two summers ago I lost my awesome job, and I went down hill. I started drinking , stop working out and found myself back up at 225 pounds.
So, as of today I have been Drink free since Dec and Im done with it b/c I found the calories it was packing on me and now I know I need to lose this weight , find another great job/career and move forward in life..
WHO'S WITH ME!!!

    Jenn You know that I've got your back. I know a thing or two about drinking too much. I definitely subbed one addiction with another. (Drink for food). Not sure how to live without something to be addicted to, so trying to get addicted to weight loss. Hang in there we can do this.
