Hi all, my name is Tanya and I am a newbie to this forum but not to dieting . Wanted to introduce myself and give a little history. I am 42 years young, divorced with no kids. In 2004 I weighed 243 pounds. After my divorce I decided to lose the weight and adopted the low carb lifestyle. I lost a total of 103 pounds in 11 months. Boy, I was one happy camper. Life was good. Started dating again, had 3 plastic surgeries to remove lose skin. Then it happened. Two years ego my BF moved in with me and the weight started to creep back up slowly. I have been on/off diet for a while now. So this time I am looking for support. I do not want to be fat ever again. I now weigh 171.2 pounds and want to lose at least 21 pounds, maybe more. So thats my story . I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone. Now I am gonna poke around the forum some. Thanks for having me.

Then jump on into posting. Can't wait to get to know you better!

Welcome! Come see us in maintainers, where we work hard to not regain the weight. Good luck to you!
