Hi

Hey all! I'm not new to fitnesspal, but I am new to the community. My name is Lori and I am 38 years old. I had used fitnesspal last year at a lighter starting weight, and gained some, but couldn't figure out how to change my starting weight. So on my profile, it says that I have only lost 9 lbs... But I have actually lost 31 as of this morning, since January 1. I am in the process of trying to get qualified for gastric sleeve surgery. My insurance is a pain... But at least it's getting me motivated to lose some before I get on the operating table. I hit my first plateau, and was going through it for a week or more... But I upped my calories from 1800-2200 and incorporated different exercises than just ZUMBA. Now I do ZUMBA, elliptical and strength training and soon I will do Boot Camp class. Anyway.... If you want, add me as a friend!
