Hey, you! Come a little closer.... I won't bite.

Hey All... I'm 6 weeks into MFP and I am loving it! 8 lbs down and I am feeling great. I have a few really supportfive friends, but I'm looking for a few more. I love friends that hold me accountable if i'm not logging in, not tracking my food, and not exercising. I will be sure to do the same!

A little about me.... I'm 31, engaged to to be married, and don't have any children (except a doggie, but I'm told I can't claim her on my taxes)

I work in a management position and am going to school for my MBA and planning a wedding (yeah I'm a little busy).

I would say that travel is my biggest hobby (albeit expenseive!) Went to England last September (where FH is from) and the prior year went a little travel crazy going to San Francisco, Washington DC, Toronto and Italy. Additionally, I lived in Trinidad and Tobago for a year while studying abroad (best food ever!!! Mixture of soul food and Indian = heaven. Needless to say I gained 20 lbs.) I also lived in Guatemala for 2 years while in the Peace Corps.

I can't wait to meet you all!!

Hi! Great post!
Friend request sent!

This site has made such a difference to my weight loss, I love having the support and I love seeing everyone's success on here! When I'm having a bad day seeing all my friends working, exercising and losing defiantly inspires me!

Hi Merrylea!

Welcome to the fitness wagon! I'm in the middle of my MA in Literature and just got married two months ago, so I fully understand the stress of staying healthy in spite of a hectic schedule. I've just joined MFP a few days ago to help out with the process--trying to tone up after two years of crazy diets (20 pounds in two weeks? INSANE). I'm hoping that this will prove to be the tool I need to consistently build new habits without panic-dieting. Best of luck!

You all can request me to.... Having people in your corner that are rooting for you, and trying to obtain the same goal is great.

I want to thank everyone for the amazing response. To say that I'm inspired is an understatement. I am so ready for this and I look forward to getting and giving support!

I am in a VERY similar position as you, working full time as an RN, going to school full time to obtain my BSN and then my MSN-NP, also planning a wedding with two doggies (I too tried to taxes...) It's all a lot to keep going with but I'll add you and we can keep each other motivated!
