Looking for like minded and supportive friends.

Hi everyone. I need some friends for motivation here on MFP.

I am fine with friends of any age and even with very different goals as long as you are supportive of my viewpoint. Here is my story in a nutshell.

I am 42. Despite my weight issues I have always been an on-the-go person. I have two kids who are teenagers. I work full time as a teacher, run local music festivals and open mics and have a side business baking. My specialty is elaborate cupcakes for large events,

I have pretty much always been a big girl, even in my teens when I played 3 varsity sports. I do not have any unrealistic goals to get skinny or be a muscular athletic type body. My goal is to be healthier and happier with my own size.

Years ago, I weighed in at 325. I am 5'11, roughly. I probably gained more before I started losing. I lost a great deal and then started yo-yo-ing.

I came to MFP a couple weeks ago weighing 280. This morning I am 266.

My goals are to look better and drop more weight. Right now my goal is to get to 200. I have been down to 220 before and at 220 I was a size 12 and felt pretty decent. If I could get to 200 and be a size 10 or so...I think I would be happy. That said, I may re-evaluate my goals when I get there.

So--I would love to add some friends! Send me a request and let's work toward our goals together!!
