Hi, my name is Tanya, married mom of 2 teens I'm new to mfp, apparently I started an account a long time ago but forgot about it. I want to start using it now on my phone. I don't have a lot of time for the website but with some motivation and knowing I'm not alone I know I can achieve success.

I lost 124 lbs in the past, gained it all back when I lost my support system (a weightloss group on the old msn site, when thy closed their groups everyone went in opposite directions), one thing I do well is lose weight...when in the right mindset and able to motivate others. I tend to get a little obsessed and my family gets tired of listening to me talk about calories, working out and tracking. I'm currently 263 lbs, I have a goal of 160. I feel good there.

If anyone thinks we could benefit from each other, please add me and I will do the same. Unlike my rear end, a support system can never be too big ;)

    Welcome back! This is definitely the place to be obsessed about counting calories, working out and the like. My family gets sick of it too, which is why I LOVE this site!
