Talking Hello from Central MA
Hi, all...

I'm Lisa, living in the Worcester, MA area. I just recently joined Weight Watchers, and though I have access to their eTools and message boards, I really don't like the way they're set up. So, after seeking out other forums, I happened upon this one!

I had gastric bypass surgery 7 years ago, and I gained back about half my weight. Last year was an insanely busy year - we bought a house, moved, and got a dog; I changed jobs, bought a new car, and graduated college; and we got married and went on a honeymoon. Phew! This year is much calmer and quieter... I also turn 40 this year, and I have slacked too long on getting healthy. Since I don't have all those other distractions in my life, I can focus on me. I'm lucky, because my DH is also trying to eat healthy and lose a few pounds. It definitely helps not having to do it alone!

So, I just wanted to say hi...

Hi LisaP - welcome and good luck with your goals! If you're interested, join us over in the 40-something forum - we've got a good group of gals in there and everyone is very supportive. Pretty active thread, so lots of good ideas bouncing around
