Hello there, my name is Priscilla I am 26 yrs old, I have 2 beautiful children son 3 daughter 5. I am a stay at home mom (home maker) and I live in this extremely small town in Nevada called Tonopah. I have decided to dramatically change my life in some way, and losing weight is the #1 goal right now, I have always been a big girl but getting older ofcouse gaining the weight and losing interest in activities is not the path I want to take, my children deserve better and so do I, I have always been picked on about my weight from my family and especially from my own father...I have gone through some hard times growing up but I have recovered and I concider myself a better person. I decided better now then never.... I will be getting married in May to the most supportive, incredible man I have ever met...I'm a lucky girl ! and I want it to be the last and most memorable marriage ever!! Yes, I have been married before to the father of my children but just didn't work out (long story). Now my kids and I are starting a new life together. So back to my weight, when I started MFP I was 185 but before that I had just finished the lemonade cleanse ( which was hard, but I got through it) I had lost 10 lbs from that...so technically I started off at 196...I cried when I stepped on that scale and almost hit the 200 line, that was not going to happen...I started MFP Sept 2, 2011 and have lost 10 lbs so far...yay!! I have read alot of testimonials here and let me tell u it gave me faith and the courage to push myself to reach my goal. I know I can
do it!!! Thank u all for ur incredible stories and I hope to make some great and supportive friends here...let's watch the lbs melt off
together . I hope to reach my goal of 140lbs before my wedding...I can't wait to experience the results!!

Congrats on all the new things happening in your life. Ten lbs! That's really wonderful, and it must have taken a lot of hard work. All the best on reaching your goals.0

Hello everyone...My name is Myya and 2011 has been a year of transformation and change. I had my first son in February, I graduated from UT Martin in May and I started my career in June. Now I am trying to adapt to the new lifestyle of mother and career woman which I am done pretty good. My next goal is to lose 25-30lbs before my son's first birthday on February 4. I picked that day because its a day I want to be sure he's happy not self concious of how I look in whatever I am wearing.....
I have struggled with my weight for a long time but along with this website and the community I am ready to make that NEXT BIG CHANGE.....of loving myself in my own skin....I want to lose the weight and maintain keeping it off!!!!!0 -
