Hi! ") My name is Meagen, I'm 21 & happily married with 2 dogs. Currently I weigh 197.8 (yep, I'll tell you!) & have a LOOOOOONG journey ahead of me (Goal is 135-145). My Mom & I have been on this rollercoaster ride for our entire lives & we're getting back on track.

There was one point in my life that I was skinny & was at least a smidge confident. Now, all of my confidence is out the window & I'm FAR from where I was; I want that feeling back. It felt amazing to wake up every morning & actually feel AND look great! My husband is a LUCKY 160 lbs & it depresses me that I'm bigger than him & everyone can tell it. We also are wanting to have our first child, but we are having no luck. After reading up a little bit, I found out that my weight could be making it harder on us, so there's another incintive to lose. ")

I'm looking for motivational & optimistic people to be friends with on MFP & to help me out on this journey (No Negative Nancy's or Debbie Downers, please!). I know I can do this with support from my friends, family, & MFP!

UPDATE: It is also a passion of mine to sing. I would love to get the confidence to book a show at a local venue or bar & feel like I sound amazing and look amazing. I also love theatre & anything in entertainment. I want to be confident enough to go after what I enjoy.

  • Hi Meag, Best of luck with your weight loss!!!

    Little tip for you.. The weight loss will help you to concieve but RELAX as much as you can... Dont be stressing yourself out It will happen for you :)
    My mam and dad tried for me for 16 years they stressed the whole time and were told they couldnt have kids because of my mam's weight... She lost the weight and stopped worrying and SURPRISE I came along :laugh:

    Start taking pictures of yourself on your journey and when you see the difference each month it makes you feel GREAT you will get your confidence back !

    I added you so any questions dont be afraid to ask!
    Good luck and cant wait to hear how your doing :):flowerforyou:
