Hello, all! My name is Ginger and I'm new to the 3FC Forums. I've used the Web site quite a few times before, but I've never been involved in the community.
Here's a quick rundown of where I am right now.
I weighed 360 when I had the lap band surgery performed. Surgery isn't the answer for everyone I know, but it was an amazing help to me. Unfortunately, right after the surgery, my insurance informed me that even though they paid for the surgery they wouldn't pay for band adjustments (which is the point), so the cost came to me. At $300 a pop it was horrible (one time it took 3 adjustments in 2 weeks just to get it to a good level). Needless to say, my small budget went haywire and I had to just deal with the level it was at. It's still a help, but not ideal.
Long story short (too late), I've lost 99 pounds so far but still have over 100 to go. To help in the process, I started doing the Weight Watchers plan at home on January 1, 08. My BF also decided it was time to start getting healthy as well, and is doing this right along with me.
I'm looking forward to meeting new people and learning from everyone!
