Hi everyone! Here to introduce myself.

Hi everyone, I'm here, but I don't really know where to start. I guess I should introduce myself. My name's Anna, and at 200lbs I am at my heaviest weight (being only 5'3, this is a huge issue). I've battled with my weight since around 11 years old, when my weight began to increase at unhealthy level. I've joined MFP in the past, so know (in theory) what it's all about, but I've never really involved myself in the community - which is probably why I've failed with it before. So please, say hi and add me! I'd love to hear your stories.

    Welcome! Community plays a big part in your success. Be inspired by others who are working at their goals and overcome obstacles and use that motivation to do the same! I started at 215 and have worked my way down to 177, going for another 30 lbs or so. I let my nutrition and workouts fall to the way-side for several months and am just now getting back on track...week 2!
