Hello MFP out there ...
Yes ... mistakes were made. What the hell did I eat today!!??!? Seriously. BUT Tomorrow is a new day. And I'm going to go back to MFP. Folks, I need a new tribe on the same journey!
I'm a 44 yr mom of two (14 & 10) who is making a change for the better! I was an active, successful MFP member a long time ago and it worked - lost 60+ lbs. So happy. But gradually, over time, a lot of stress, poor habits, crazy snacking habits creeped in .... and I lost myself in family, work, house, family, work, family, stupid fish tank that kills fish, home, work ... I realized just recently that I need to stick the "me" back in those priorities.
That's where you come in. Got 30+ to lose? OR trying to fit it in with a life full of kids, school, work, family, house, stupid fish tank that keeps killing fish (my current battle), etc? Maybe you need a member of your tribe? Or you just wanna talk Harry Potter/Star Wars/comics/other geeky things? Maybe you like science? Or you are just starting out and getting flashbacks to being picked last in gym class. Friend request me. (Seriously ... being friendless in MFP reminds me of gym class in middle school ...)

Harry Potter! I read the books a couple times throughout my life, and am currently listening to them right now on my commute, so much more entertaining than the radio. Gotta give it to JK Rowling for writing a series I enjoyed so much as a kid and still enjoy revisiting at almost 30 years old!
I case you are interested, I found this challenge someone set up a while back and thought is was pretty cool. I plan to join it in a few weeks when I am ready to get back in weight loss mode:
