in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone! My name is Monica (bow) I am here for the same reason we are all here, to live a healthy lifestyle. My profile is not complete as I just started yesterday, I will work on that soon but let me tell you a little about me.

In 2012 I realized my weight had skyrocketed and joined Weight Watchers. It worked! I had lost 43lbs (at my lowest) and maintained that for a good 2 years. In 2015, it started to creep up but not by much as I was still being active by going to the gym and walking. However I was diagnosed with severe anemia and everything went downhill from there. In 2016 I moved across country and just stopped caring all together over my health because I was disappointed. I let obstacles get the best of me.

And here we are today. I don't want to give illness a power over me and I want to fight to be healthy again. I am looking for friends on MFP who will help with motivation and I in turn motivate them too. Please add me if you are interested. :-)
