in Introduce Yourself
Hey there! I lost 45 pounds Jan-June 2014, and I maintained until I went back to school Aug 2015. I gained 12 pounds back this semester, and I'm wanting to break this cycle and prevent more weight gain, so I've decided to come back to MFP and start over. I'm about 35 pounds away from my goal, and I'm looking for some active people to help motivate and chat with on here. Please send a message with a little about yourself when you send your friend request. Thank you!

About me... I'm about to be 27, female, 5'0 and i'm currently 150 pounds. Mom to 3 kids, USAF wife, and full time accounting student.

    Hi Jenny! Though I've never never really tried to lose weight (daydreaming without any planned action doesn't count!), I've never been happy with my weight. Weight creep has added pounds to my frame over the years, but recently I gained 10 lbs in 2 month's time. That last bit woke me up, and I am tackling this issue straight on. However, though I'm motivated now, I tend to be one of those people who get excited quickly and then lose interest, when it involves something that is not strictly a requirement and I run into difficulties with the goal. That is why I'd love to be your buddy to encourage each other and keep myself accountable to someone who understands the struggles of weight loss.

    A little about myself: I'm 39, female, Korean on the outside & American on the inside, 5'1.5", single, has an accounting degree but seeking a job due to a recent illness.

    I'd love to be your buddy!

    Christina
