Introducing myself

My name is Sandy. I am married for 30 years. I have 2 adult kids & 2 grandkids. I was 365 pounds when I decided it was time to lose weight. I started my journey. I had to lose about a hundred pounds before they’d operate. I actually was 280 pounds when I had surgery in October 2019. I got to down to 230 pounds by December 2020. I had so much going on. I after the New year to now had reached 269 pounds. I decided to try this app. I believe I needed a calorie counter. Hoping this really helps me. Btw- I forgot to mention I have Fibromyalgia & osteoarthritis of my knees(bone on bone) for years. I was falling down several times & I thought m knees gave out. Then my hands were trembling so I thought that was anxiety. I had massive migraines several times a week So everyone started to say I should get it checked out. I went to a neurologist who treated my migraines even though I am still having them but she sent me to a movement disorder dr for my trembling. He did several tests which included a dat scan & tests were positive for Parkinson’s. I was devastated. I am now being treated but also started to notice I was losing my memory. I was so stressed out that I had gained weight. I was a 269! I couldn’t believe it so I’m got this app & I am hoping to lose over 100 pounds. Please wish me luck! Thank you!
