Back again...
Hi All My name is Jenni, I was a member here about a year ago, and I fell off the wagon good and proper. My life got crazy, my eating got really crazy, and I ended up heavier than I'd ever been. So, I'm back. At the beginning of May, I weighed in at 341 lbs, I'd started to have real mobility issues, I felt ill all the…

Real life first name
Well, as today is day 100 of logging into MFP for me, I guess its occurred to me that I'm going to be here for the long run. When I chose my screen name, I didn't really know too much about the community aspect of MFP, or how much I'd really enjoy logging in and seeing how you fine folks are doing every day. As such, I…

The reason I ask is that my time is quite limited at the moment, and I don't tend to eat breakfast until I get to work (3 hours-ish after I…

LOTS to lose, long way to go.
Hi all! Well, I guess I'm one of the many people who looked at their waistline (and other body parts!) this New Year and decided that now was the time to do something about this. I've been morbidly obese for a long time, and I'm in the position where I need to lose around half my body weight to be in the 'ideal' weight…
