Hi, everyone! I just joined tonight, so I'll introduce myself.

My name is Jamie, and I'm a 23-year-old going for a degree in Office Technology. In the future, I would like to return to school for Massage Therapy, though. As mentioned in the Subject, I am from Upstate, NY.

I've been obese most of my life, but I'm starting to become very serious about my health. It's way beyond just wanting to look good; I want to be healthy, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

I would like to make new friends, especially people who are excited about their future. Also, I am interested in making friends who have had or are planning on getting gastric bypass. It's a serious consideration at this point in my life, but I definitely haven't made up my mind yet.

Anyway, it's great to meet all of you!

Hi and ! You'll find lots of great support here. Good luck on your weightloss journey.

Hi Jamie... welcome! Great having you here! Just feel free to jump right in anywhere; I am sure you'll make new friends very fast and yes, this place is a big support and encouragement in your weight loss!
