in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I've never been on MFP before but I hear lots of good things about it and figured why not! So here goes.
My name is Krista, 25yrs old from Philadelphia, PA.
I actually just started the process towards a gastric sleeve which will happen in January 2015. I'm hoping to get into some better habits and lose a bit of weight before then though. My goal by the end of the year is 20lbs (trying to be realistic, I have some habits to break!).
I've tried sooo many diets, programs, pills etc in the past and would sometimes see a little results, but then would eventually gain everything back and then some.
I'm at my heaviest now and am really uncomfortable in my body these days. It's harder to move, harder to work (im a nurse), harder to dress, harder to sleep.. and every day life shouldn't be this hard. My GERD has recently gotten much worse, and a few months ago I was diagnosed with PCOS. And that's when I threw my hands up and said 'enough'!

So here we go.. lets make friends & take the journey together :)
