in Introduce Yourself
Hi guys, i've been a forum lurker for a week or two now, and a regular MFP Diary user for the last month and a half. i've had an account for a few years, but, well, you know.

this last month and a half has been the most successful time of my life. i'm so thankful for the resources available to me, from MFP and the fantastic database it has of food and nutritional info, to the forums with great ideas and awesome inspirations, to the gym i go to and their awesome kickass classes, and finally to the awesome running group i found locally that started me on this journey in the first place.

i think its time to get to know a few people. i've lost 16 pounds since april 27th and still going strong. i'm beyond excited about what is happening to me. and i've become addicted to gym classes. i'm also a runner as of october of last year and have run two 5k's and two half marathons. i'm not sure what my goal weight is, but my goal life is to be healthy and active and an example to my two kids.

    @ileenegilkins I'm looking for some friends on the forum as well. I'm working on starting a family with the hubs (we've been married less than a year) and I'm trying to get healthy so pregnancy is easier on my body, and so the babes get adequate nutrition while incubating! I also want to be able to set a good example for my kids when they get here!!

    I've lost 3 lbs since starting this a week ago, but am looking for some exercise motivation, as it's not my fave thing to do. (I prefer fiber arts, and if I could find a way to knit and walk without getting hit by a car, I would!)

    Wanna friend?

    haha :smile: i do want to be friends. i personally prefer to crochet but i absolutely agree with the sentiment.

    good for you. (i have one broken key on this keyboard and its the exclamation mark, very annoying) i had to start focusing on the weight loss after the pregnancies because they were both kind of surprises :ohwell: but it was the same inspiration, being a good example to them :smile:

    Hi. I'm just here to see people that need some friends. I'm kind of quiet and socially awkward.

    I agree, I think the best goal is to be healthy. I have not updated my profile but I am back after about 20 lbs gain from severely dislocating my shoulder last December. Keep up the healthy living and the weight will come off. Good luck. feel free to add me as a friend.
