in Introduce Yourself
Hello there! I am a married 26 yo mom of two, looking for some friends to help keep me motivated. I would like to lose 100lbs over the course of the next two years or so.

A little about me....
I love to read anything
I love to write
I have been married for 5.5 years
I have 2 kids Mason and Adalyn
I work full-time as a nurse in a psychiatric institution
I am in school 3/4th time for my RN

I tend to have a dry sense of humor and am the victim of social anxiety. I recently joined WW and have my first
meeting Wednesday. Needless to say....TERRIFIED.

    Welcome blmcdbug! I've been on a similar journey but am now down to about 60lbs to lose. I am currently doing a keto/paleo lifestyle and am in the medical field (MLT) and I would love to help with the motivation. I've learned the more friends and mfp peeps you have the more motivation you have and can give! Add me if you would like :-)

    My long term is 100lbs (to get me into Army regs on weight). I find it easier for me to set short-term goals. Right now I have two~ lose 30lbs and lose 20% body fat. Feel free to friend me if you'd like. :)

    Thanks guys!! I am hoping... I know I can do it if I can keep motivated. I am still trying to get the hang of the points stuff. I did Atkins last year so this is all backwards for me!

    Hi All!
    I'm 28 and am in the same boat. It scares the crap out of me that by the time I'm done meeting my goals, I'll have "lost" the equivalent of my 13 year old sister. I look at her and think, "Where the hell are YOU hiding in my body?" This is the year to get serious though- I'm a type 2 diabetic and am going to be looking to start a family. I want to really kick it in to high gear! I'm looking for supportive friends who will call me on my s* and who are positive influences and who are interested in building friendships so we are fully motivating each other :)
