Hi everyone!

I’m Lacey. I’m almost 32 and a full-time nurse, mother, and wife. I’d like to lose around 25 pounds, but definitely need the support from this group! If anyone would like to join me in this journey and cheer each other on, friend request me!

A little more about me: I have 3 kids (12 year old stepson, 6 year old son, and 3 year old daughter), love wine and tiktok, and could probably be Kourtney Kardashian’s twin (personality-wise) 😂. I help deliver babies as a labor and delivery nurse and love every second of it.

On a more serious note, I have major depression, anxiety, PTSD, narcolepsy, and ADHD. On the outside, it looks like I’m put together, but deep down I’m struggling. I’m pretty good at putting on a brave face; however, it’s definitely showing in terms of my health. Looking to get healthy and lose some of this weight! 💪🏼

    Are you getting treatment for all of this? It's grand putting on a brave face, but it'll crack through eventually if you're not and sounds like you have a lot going on already even without adding that to the mix.

    Hi Lacey!

    I too am an L&D nurse, wife, mom of 2. I’m back on MFP and hoping to stick it out this time. I work night shift and my kiddos are young so it’s a tough balance for sure. Nice to meet you! I’ll definitely be here for support!
