Welcome to About Me. This group was started for men and women who are overweight or obese. But it is also for men and women who were once that way, but lost it either through diet or surgery. No one knows how an overweight person feels but another overweight person. This group was created so we can support one another, give advice and just be a friend.This group is a low message group, with members posting only when they feel the need to talk to someone, so please do not feel like you are being ignored because of low posting. Please feel free to post at any time, and be sure someone will respond. The only requirement is that you do not set yourself to no mail. So, please join us, and if you know someone who needs a great support group, tell them "About Me"!

*UPDATE NEWS*
3/4/2007: I have lost a total of 147lbs pre and post op with my gastric bypass surgery. I now weigh in at 158. This surgery is not for everyone, but after careful consideration and talking to the surgeon, he felt I needed the surgery with the medical problems I was having to crop up, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes etc. Before considering surgery, please talk to your Dr.
Thanks and Welcome!!!!
