I am sending you a friend request now. I started with about 170 pounds to lose and am only down 23 so far. I did lose about 100 pounds a few years ago on mfp, but unfortunately I turned to old habits of letting food be my comfort and gained it back.0

I started at 244lbs 5''3, morbidly obese, I'm down 45lbs now
I'm happy to have a new fitness pal so please feel free to add me.
