Looking for support in weight loss/maintaining?
Years ago I weighed 288 lbs, I am now at 175 lbs, GONE a TOTAL of 113 lbs!!! When I first started at 256 with another site, since that point we've transferred to MFP, I was in a power chair 97% of the time. Being in the powerchair was not all because of weight, I did get medical help on that, but the weight surely made it…
