Thanks!!!

And thank you everyone else for the tips! I've cut out a lot of things, specifically diet pop (sigh), which has always been my vice. I'm also not drinking with my meals anymore.

Thanks! Excited to be here.

Me! I'm 26 and would love some friends to share this journey with me. Anyone on this thread feel free to add me (I'm new to MFP :))

Hi Bec! I am brand new to this group as well, and about 3 months pre-op (hopefully). My insurance company requires 6 months of medically supervised weight loss before they'll issue an approval and I'm in the last month of that now. I'm also looking for friends and support so please anyone on this thread feel free to add…
