in Introduce Yourself
This is my first post even though I've been charting for a couple of weeks. I realize that I need some support as I try to lose this weight- Any takers?

A little bit about me: I've been overweight since childhood. I've lost and gained the weight too many times to count. I'm at 241 and my goal is 140. Although just getting below 200 at this point would be cause for celebration!

I wrote in my profile about how apparently I'm too small for gastric bypass. Ha. ha..That's still hilarious to me. But the meeting wasn't completely worthless; I met with a dietician who showed me that I was eating about 4000 calories a day! Shocking I know. (Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts coffee lovers, beware!)
So with that useful piece of information, I decided to eat sensibly, exercise more and here I am! Just looking for a few weightloss friends to talk with on this journey who are in the same boat as me! Just click on my profile so I can add you as a friend.
