Hi everyone. I started myfitnesspal on May 26 after realizing that I had gained 22 pounds in the past 3 months. Not only was I eating unhealthly (I'm a stress eater), but I wasn't excersing enough. Then I find out that I am pre-menopausal and have to start taking hormones. I'm hoping by combing a healthy diet, basic exercise / daily activity, and getting my hormones back in balance, that I will get back lose the 22 pounds I gained and lose those extra few that refused to come off last year.
