in Introduce Yourself
Hi all, I'm a 24 year old stay at home mom, I've been trying to lose weight since I had my son in August2013. I did alright at first, lost 11 pounds but then gained it back(and then some). My husband went on deployment a couple of months ago and I've gained another 10 pounds since he's been gone. (I tend to be an emotional eater) But now I am READY to hold myself accountable. I want to lose weight of course for myself and my little man and really want to WOW my husband when he returns. So anyone else on this journey to a healthy life feel free to add me! I can use all the friends and motivation I can get!!

    Hello!
    I began my weight loss journey 2 years ago. I have lost 65 pounds so far, and have just a bit more to go! Getting encouragement along the way is so important. I would love to help in any way I can. I am also a recovering emotional eater :) so I hear ya on that one! - Kim

    I am just starting, too! I have a lot of weight to lose. I am hoping the MFP community will be a great way to stay motivated, help out along the journey and offer ideas, tips and tricks. :) Good luck to you!!

    I'm also starting as well! I lost 20 lbs when I was 14 (i was really heavy like 165) , but then I slowly gained it all back. I am now in college and finishing up the semester in less than 2 weeks. Once I get through that, my summer will be dedicated to getting back at my healthy weight again. If you need someone to motivate you then I'm your girl! We can do this!
