Introduction

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to say a quick hello and introduce myself. I joined myfitnesspal in 2011 and never really kept up with it. Suffice it to say, I also lost my account and had to make a new one.

I started again with myfitnesspal on Tuesday and have been doing great... the only problem is that prior to my fitnesspal I weighed in at 235 lbs. I started my fitnesspal and started working out vigorously cardio and weights and the scaled keeps fluctuating between 240 and 245. Yes I know muscle weighs more than fats but at this point its a psychological thing. I'm also only 5ft 3 inches

I have been on diets, fad diets etc and had to give up diets for good when I became dangerously ill Oct 2010 and Jan 2011. My heaviest weight was 270 lbs and I was able to get it down to 245 on my own. In March of last year I was around 260 lbs and did a cleanse by Kathy Freston (a vegan cleanse) and yes I went cold turkey. It was the best I have ever felt in my life.

I have always been active but thought that my activeness gave me a license to overeat (and boy did I ever). Anyway not to be too long winded... but I'm here looking for support and to be among like minded people on the same journey of a more healthy lifestyle.
