Hello Everyone,

My name is Elizabeth. I am 31 and I weigh in at 168 pounds. I am an LPN, have been married for 6 years (with my Husband for 11) and have three boys and a step-daughter. I began my journey on MFP three days ago....

I come from a large family and everyone loves to eat!! I had surgery in October and started an new job where I was on my feel all day 5 days a week...i dropped the weight down to 152 where i sat for a month or so. About three months ago, I got a promotion and now sit at a desk, I quit smoking, and am not as active at work as i was....therefore, I gained all my weight right back.

Overall, my self-esteem is low....its hard for me to be intimate with my husband because I feel ashamed and embarrased of my body and the way I look. i just lack the confidence in myself....thats another reason i joined....

I have read many stories on here about success, I see the support that complete strangers are giving others. I feel that i need this to help me be successful so that I don't give up on myself.....

My goal is to lose 30-35 pounds by the end of the year....I have put myself on MFP's 1200cal/day diet and have done well the last three days. I am still young and still have a lot of years to feel beautiful

please add me and help me through my journey!!

Hi Elizabeth, I've just joined too although not got as far as recording my food yet! Still thinking about it! Just wanted to say you sound such a lovely person and I'm sure you'll do well.

Hi Elizabeth!

lovely to meet you!

I think that you are going to do great!

I am new too, today is the first day that I have been completely truthful on my food diary and I am going to continue to do that and really see what I am eating and make much better choices.

All the Best!! xxx
