Thank you so much for the warm welcome everyone! It's been a few weeks now, and I really feel that this forum and MFP have made a HUGE difference for me. Since Jan I've lost nearly 30 lbs. Coming here to vent, laugh, and share with people who KNOW what this is like means the WORLD to me. Hugs to you all!
Angelicus- Your story is inspirational, learning to love oneself is difficult when you come from a background such as ours. You ARE worth so much more, as you said!
Justb1- Thanks and welcome to you! Been here several weeks now, I am not following any plan per se, but am trying to eat around 1500 cal a day, tracking them on MFP, weighing in once weekly, and working out.
