Hello

I'm new to MFP. I am coming from another forum/calorie counter site, but found MFP to be more user friendly. I am 39 yrs old, homeschooling mother of three. My highest weight was 333 lbs in May 2010. I got down to 263 lbs by the end of August of this year, lost my focus and gained 20 lbs.

I'm back on track (day 4) and just now finishing up with my withdrawal days (x-ing fingers). I've battled my weight all my life. I'm a food addict.

I have struggled all my life with my weight. I was in diet programs by the time I was in 4th grade. I got off track in 6th grade and gained it all back. By the end of 9th grade, I was tired of it. I didn't want "fat" Senior portraits. I started crash dieting in the Summer and lost lots of weight. Started exercising and counting calories. I didn't have fat Senior portraits. I weighed about 135-140 lbs.

Graduated, met my hubby, I was about 150 lbs by this time. Our first date, I had a McD's hamburger and water. Just a few months later, we were already talking about getting married, I was eating 1/4 pound combos with coke, plus an extra 1/4 lber (afterall, that was what he was eating, him and his skinny self). We got married the following year, I was 195 lbs.

Started working, after 4 yrs lost my job (sewing factory, work sent overseas), started school, and Weight Watchers, I was about 225 lbs now.

Then the babies came. The running joke was that every time I started Weight Watchers, I would get pregnant.

I reached an all time high by my last child's 1st birthday, 330 lbs. I lost weight, got nearly to 250 lbs, and stopped trying again. This time, I got back to 332 lbs. It was about the time I was Dx with PCOS too.

So, looking for supportive friends so we can help each other on this journey.
