Just found the forums
I started about 2 weeks ago - just learning about the forums now haha! Been gaining weight steadily since I left college and it's time for it to stop. Trying to lose what I've gained since then (about 40 pounds) and keep it that way. Love all of the support and encouragement I've read on MFP and could use some. I've got…
