I am new to this group and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Michelle and I am 41 years old. I have been overweight most of my life and it only got worse when I was diagnosed with MS 6 years ago. I have lost weight and gained it back many times. This time I started at 359 on October 2 and I am working with my primary care dr and my ob/gyn to lose weight this time around (as I need to have surgery so I need to lose 100 lbs before I can have laparoscopic surgery). I am taking some medication to help me lose weight and in the past week I've lost 6.2 lbs. I would love to see this group be active and if any of you would like to add me as a friend on here I would love to have more friends and have more motivators and inspiration.
