in Introduce Yourself
Hi all,

My one best friend told me about MFP as I was telling her I use Sparkpeople.
So I joined here, and even got the Android App!
I'm 1 year 3 days post op from my gastric bypass surgery and down 95 lbs :)
I began at 335. I am 240 now. :)

I work out with Wii games (Just Dance 2, Zumba Fitness, Wii fit plus) and walking outdoors. :)

God bless,
Heather

    Welcome BflowMum, I love it here. I'm sort of new here. I started here a long time ago and gave up. Now I'm back. I re-started on 11/18/11. My husband kept trying to talk me into the bypass surgery but I really wanted to try to do it with diet first. I'm sure he rolled his eyes as I've tried it umpteen times now. I guess I'm a little afraid of bypass surgery. Sounds like it is really working for you. I'm glad :). I see you are now 240 pounds. That is very close to what I started here. I started at 236.6 pounds, or so and just weighed today at 228.8 pounds. I'm going to friend you if you don't mind. Oh yea, i use to work out with Wii. Now that it is winter I should really pull it out again. Boy will that wii guy yell at me when he sees how much i gained.
