in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone! I'm a wife, and a stay-at-home-mom, well kind of. I am also a full-time student. I have 3 children, and have gained weight with each child over the past 7 years. I am determined to lose this 80 pounds. I have always been a "big girl", but I've never been this much over weight. I am currently seeking a degree in Nursing, and I've just decided I let myself go for too long. Learning more about the body and how precious each part is, and exactly how it works is quiet scary when I know how damaging being overweight is. Looking forward to meeting some people that share my goals and can help motivate me!

    Hi Amanda,

    I'm also a SAHM, but I'll be returning back to work soon and, like you, I've struggled with losing weight after having my child. I started my exercise and weight loss program on Monday and even though it's only been a few days the people on MFP have been a great source of motivation and support for me. Feel free to add me if you like. I'd love to help encourage you through your journey.
