I've fallen off this bandwagon for what feels like the 107th time. So here I am, again. Back at it. Looking for friend to motivate and to motivate me.

I'm open to any motivational friends, but a little about me in case I can find people who can really relate. I'm 23 and just starting my career as a registered nurse. I have over 100 lbs to lose. I've been steadily putting on weight for the past 5 years in school--over 100lbs in 5 years. I really need to do something about it. Hopefully THIS time is for real.

    I also packed on pounds while in nursing school, it is very intense. Once I started working as a nurse I started to lose. Just make a pact with yourself not to eat the goodies people, patients, patient's families bring iin!

    Not new to MFP, but I've been gone for almost two years.

    The last time I was on, I was so motivated and the support I gained here was priceless. I lost 45 pounds and felt so healthy and strong.

    Unfortunately, life got in the way and it all fell apart. But, I'm angry and on a mission. Time to take back control of my life. My main goals are to lose 80 pounds total and to complete a RUN DISNEY in 2017.

    I will be on daily and am looking for buddies to help keep me motivated. I promise to do the same for you!

    Send me a friend request if you are interested.
