Hi all- I'm new here, been on a weightloss/gain journey my entire life, and ready for this to be life changing and long term.

I've had major ups and downs with weight, in '08 I went to a weightloss dr in town and went from 206 to 136 in 5 months with exercise, strict food diet (from the dr), and serious determination. 3 years later I've gained it all back and weigh more then I started. Today I weigh 218. I'm waiting for insurance and have cleared all the other hoops. I'm excited to join you all here for long term better health!

Welcome to the group. You have something I don't you lost weight with out surgery which is what I wanted,but I had surgery since I couldn't do it on my own. We are a bunch of cool people here.
