Default New here and need support.
Hi there, I am a 34 year old single mother of 4. I am going through a difficult break up of a 5 year relationship and have decided to concentrate on me. I had gastric bypass surgery 10 years ago, and have kept over 100 pounds off since then. I have almost 100 more pounds to lose, but 50 is my goal in order to have some excess skin removed from my surgery long ago. I live in Indiana and dont have any family here, and very little support. I am hoping to meet new friends to see through our journeys together. I need to learn to eat healthier, learn to make this a lifestyle and not just a temporary situation.
PS.. This site is great... I have already learn alot on here and others stories are very inspiring.

Welcome to 3FC, and a big congrats of maintaining a 100 lb loss for 10 years! That's wonderful! I'm sure you'll be successful in continuing to reach your new goal.
A break up is very difficult; I wish you and the children the very best.

Thank you for the warm welcome ladies!
I have GREAT news... I went today.. and bought a scale for the first time in about 10 years... I assumed I was around 240-250... since I have recently gained weight.... BUT to my surprise, I weighted in at 221.8! I feel like I already have a victory under my wing! So that means I am 70.1 pounds from my goal weight of 150!! I can do this!!
