Hi Everyone,
Hope it's OK to post this! If not, moderators can feel free to remove.

I've been struggling with my weight all my life but gained 75 pounds in the last 6 years. I managed to lose 12 in the last year and a half but I recently had some great stress when I transitioned from a paying part-time online job to being a full-time author (no pay as of yet, but I have a small income that covers most of my bills and my parents are helping me with the rest). I also found out a month ago that my dad has cancer, which has been my wake-up call that I need to do something about losing the weight I need to to be healthy NOW and not wait.

I just got back into Sparkpeople and was wondering if anyone else here is also active on Sparkpeople. I would really love some support there. I don't know how you add a SparkFriend, so someone might let me know how to do that. My username on Sparkpeople is TAMMAYAUTHOR, if anyone would like to add me to their Sparkfriends list. I would be happy to add you to mine if you want to leave your username (once I figure out how to do that...).
