Hello, all! I'm Stewy! ✌
I've been using MFP for a little over 2 years. I gained ~40 lbs with my pregnancy in 2015. It surprised me when my baby weight didn't "melt" off as promised with a year of breast feeding, so I took things into my own hands.
It's been great solo so far. I hold myself accountable and had lost 20 pounds! Slow progress is still progress, and I was learning to set aside time to be active.
Then I needed leg surgery in July and gained half of that lost weight back. I'm devastated and struggling. I don't have much family support as a single mom. I tried reaching out to some local groups on here and other platforms, but no one in my local area was active anymore. (I live in a obesity-inclined part of the US.)
Please feel free to friend me. Any advice on rediscovering motivation and finding support is welcome! My main goal is to be healthy for my son.
Thanks, everyone! Look forward to hearing from you!
TL;DR - Having trouble finding motivation, looking for more support/friends.

Hospital visits are the worst! Hope you're both feeling better. Once the doctor cleared me to work out again, I started back at square one by walking.0
