in Introduce Yourself

Hi,

Just thought I'd come on here and introduce myself. To see if I can make friends on MFP and just for accountability. I'm a 442lbs 31yo female, mother to a nearly 5 year old and I'm bed bound. Ever since starting a new medication July last year my weight has crept up nearly 100lbs and I need to lose it because this is not how I want my life to be.

I don't want to be bedbound forever, I don't want to struggle to walk with chronic pain in my swollen legs and eventually I do want to give my daughter a sibling so I'm hoping I can do this.

I'll be tracking my weight in 25lbs goals, so my first goal to hit is 425lbs fingers crossed that won't take too long.

Anyway if you've read this far. Thank you for reading. Much love xx
