Hi
My name is Lorrain. I go by Mamaw Rain because that's what my GRANDkids all call me and pretty much who I am.
I've been overweight most of my life. I've carried over 200 lbs for many years. Recently, (9 months ago) my 32 yr old died suddenly. I ate my emotions. Then a couple months into that they changed my seizure medicine and I gained over 30 lbs in just months. I am left with a weight that I have never carried in my life.
One morning in the 1st week of July, 2016, I hit 284lbs!
I remember standing at the fridge and saying "That's It"! I literally saw myself screeching on the brakes. It worked. Since that day I have been working diligently to lose this weight. So far I've lost 15 lbs. WOOHOO! I'm excited and motivated! and I love this myfitnesspal!
Looking forward to meeting others and sharing our journey together.
