Hi everyone! I have been using MFP for a while on my iPod, and just recently came to the actual website to =discover these forums and all this other cool stuff! I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Robin, I'm 24 and I live in Florida. I have been married for a little over a year. My husband is a teacher, and I work in freshman admissions at a university. I'm also working on my Master's degree in Applied Linguistics, and with that degree I'll be able to teach English as a second language at the college level.
I'm really happy this site has forums-- I love forums! My CW is 144, which is just about the highest I've ever been. I hit this weight once a few years ago, and I worked hard and lost it-- down to 115-- but then I have gained it all again since getting married. Blah! I have not been able to get the same level of commitment this attempt that I had last time, so I've been sort of stuck at this weight for months. I don't know if 115 is feasible goal anymore, being a few years older now, but I would like to get down to at least 125!
I'm also hoping to run a 5K in the near-ish future... as soon as it starts cooling off, I'm going to get back on the Couch to 5K plan Right now I'm doing the 30 Day Shred in the mornings (Day 5!) and I'm considering taking a beginning ballet class too!!
That's all about me... looking forward to getting to know everyone here!!

Hi! I started a few weeks ago at 142, Ugh!!! My goal weight is also to get to 125.. That would be super.. I was 120 on my wedding day, and after getting married got up to 135, The funny thing is I felt way overweight then.. Now 10 years and 2 babies later.. I am ready to be 125 again.. I got down to 130 last summer for my sisters wedding, But unfortunately did more of a crash diet, and went crazy after.. So now a year later I am 10 pounds heavier, So anyway My adventure begins.. I have lost 3lbs so far and am looking forward to being 130, and Then 125.. We can do this! Its time to feel good in our own skin again!0
