Calorie Count closing so moving to MFP. Interested in general health and encouragement.

I've been part of Calorie Count for about 9 years and was very disappointed that the site was being closed. Many of us have joined MFP and are looking to develop a new community. I have been trying to stay healthy and fit but have fallen off the wagon in the last year because of chronic pain. Ironically, chronic pain is helped by losing weight and exercising. What a vicious cycle! 17 lbs. from my goal weight and hoping to get there by summertime. Mostly, I just want to grow as a person on the inside, not on the outside! God bless!
