Hello my name is Elisa Jones. I am 33 years old and about 250 lbs. i lost weight following biggest loser but due to a tragedy that has left me a widow of 3 children ages 17, 13 and 12 I have started gaining it back. This is very frustrating to me right now but I am scheduled to have surgery may 29th. I as well have struggled with my weight for many years. And now I want to b able to do something for myself. This is it. I have only told 2 people (one if which had this surgery already) as I don't have much of a support system since my parents have up on me when I was little and my husband is now gone. My children don't quite understand I'm all they have left and I want to b healthy for many years to come. I hope I can meet a few people on here and have the journey of a lifetime. Very excited to have this transformation and a new lifestyle.
