Hi, everyone! I've been a part of MFP for about 3 months or so, and am looking for some more like-minded friends!

Short backstory...I'm a mom of 2 young children, and after having my first, I got down to below my pre-pregnancy weight--it felt great! After my second, I dropped almost all of the pregnancy weight I had gained (and I gained A LOT!!!), but then I got lazy (...and busy! I work full time and my kids are both under 4--they are a handful!), and gained about 25 pounds back. URG.

Anyway, since joining MFP in mid-January, I've logged EVERYTHING everyday! I'm looking for some more friends to share with who are dedicated to losing weight and most importantly, getting stronger and healthier on this journey. I want to lose weight, but most importantly I want to gain my "fitness" back. I was an athlete in high school and college, but after I had kids, I lost that identity. Just didn't have time for it anymore. Now I'm looking to get back in shape so when my kids are old enough to start playing sports I can help them learn and enjoy them like I did when I was a kid!

I've lost half of my goal weight, and have about 20 more pounds to go. I've been trying to gain knowledge through the different forums on MFP about different workouts/strength training routines, how/what to eat to not only lose weight but gain lean muscle, and how to do it safely and effectively. I'd really like some more friends that can share their knowledge with me and push me to do better! In turn I can also offer support and motivation and a "kick in the *kitten*" if that's what you need :bigsmile:

Please feel free to add me if you wouldn't mind having one more friend to share your journey with :glasses:
