Hello Nick, I'm Amber. Well you sound pretty situated so far. The water perk really sounds nice. I have water delivered to my home in the 5 gallon bottles and just love it. Your story sounds just like mine, except I met my BF and got hurt and packed on about 45 pounds myself. Your about where I am right now weight wise, I'm off LCing for another week or so, I just had surgery. I have a dodge stratus r/c and traded in a sebring to get that.
One thing I found out was that it is ALOT harder getting the weight off then putting it on. Especially in the winter months. I started with Atkins and had no problem sticking to it either I'm a meat and vegetable person anyhow. I hope you have continued success on your journey and hope to see you around. Good Luck!
