Hello Everyone, My name is Shirley and I am so glad I found this site because I feel so lost and was about to give up. I just finished my last round of chemo and I have ballooned to 240 lbs. I feel so fat and useless. Everything seems like a challenge; bending over, playing with my children, going for long walks, and i even feel claustrophobic in my shower (to much me and to little shower space). I need to do something about this weight so I can live healthier and be here for my children. I am determined to get this weight off but most of the time i don't have the motivation.

    Hi Shirley! Welcome to MFP. This is certainly the place to be for some support. Obviously we are all here because we struggle with our weight so all of a similar mind set. If you need some support you can add me as a friend! All the best on your journey!

    Hello, fellow Marylander;) Welcome!! Dont forget to be easy on yourself as you work toward your goals. Sounds like youve been through a lot recently and Id guess some meds youre on contributed to weight gain. Self love is an important part of health too. <3

    Yes it was posted a while ago. Was looking for maryland friends and was hoping they were still somewhere to be found.
