I am here to change my life. I am a mother of two, and I want to enjoy playing with my kids while they are still little. I want to have energy and feel more comfortable in my skin. I am also a college student. I will graduate in the spring, and would love to be more marketable when I begin my search for a job. I have struggled with weight all my adult life, but I have never weighed more. I am setting a goal of 50lbs. lost by graduation, but I don't want to stop there. This is my second week on a new diet, and I am feeling better all ready. I am inspired by the support I have received from family and friends (a couple of whom told me about MFP). Thank you for reading my post.:flowerforyou:
