Hello from Nebraska

Hello, I just joined a few minutes ago. I am looking to lose another 80 pounds. I have already lost 80 pounds by myself but it has taken me almost 3 years to do this. It is very frustrating, especially when I have to lose the same 10 pounds over and over again. I have been down to 235, then back up to 250 and then back down again. I have done this for the past 6 months. I have had several major medical problems during this time which makes it even more difficult. In May 2010 I had a double mastectomy due to breast cancer, which was about 6 months into my diet plans. I actually lost 10 pounds during surgery, that was the only good thing about losing both my breasts. It helped me with my back problems, although I still have a little trouble with my balance now and again. I still walk funny and I still stumble at times, you really don't realize how much your breasts are used for balance until you lose them. Then in February of last year I fell and severely broke my right arm. I had to have surgery at the time of the accident, and it was not healing properly. I could not pick up anything over 3 pounds, which limits what you can do. I am right handed so I had to learn to do lots of things over again. I had to have surgery again in September of last year to have a hernia repaired, and the day after surgery I fell again, on my right arm again. I was alone at the time of the fall and I had to wait until my Mom got home from work and found me and helped me back up. I had my arm x-rayed after the fall, and everything looked ok, but it wasn't. The metal bar that was placed in my arm had moved and I had to have another surgery this past May. But I have still continued to lose the weight, although it has been a long hard battle. I am also going through a divorce after 19 years of marriage. So as you can see there is a ton of stress in my life. I started out at 320 pounds at Christmas of 2009 and as of today, June 27, 2012, I weigh 242 pounds. I am hoping that by starting this journal and this website that I can get the motivation and help that I need to continue losing the weight. If you want to know more about me or to be a weight loss buddy just let me know. I would love to get to know you too.
