in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! 30 year old tattooed stay-at-home momma of two here in Ohio. I'm only trying to lose about 20 pounds or so now but more importantly make sustainable health changes. Previously to coming to this site (I was recommended by a friend) I lost about 20 pounds myself via diet changes and a deep obsession with Wii workout games, haha. I have a current goal of taking up running, so we'll see how that goes. Currently benched from working out for one week more due to a recent surgery but I'm itchin' to get out of the gate already.

Anyway, looking for friends with whatever goals of their own, just people I can chat with and read from to help me enjoy my time here at MFP. I always feel more accountable with a few talkative buddies around! So yeah... add me or say hi and tell me about yourself :)

    Hi there, 29 year old looking for work at the moment. Graduated 6 months ago. Living in London now.

    I lost 25lbs by myself walking 2.5 miles to school and back, without mfp. Started making money and partying and drinking and gained about 15 back. Now using MFP to lose 35 lbs.

    Im also looking for ppl to talk to and want to motivate each other. I'm adding you..

    Hi there! I also just joined. I am a tattooed working mom of 3. I am down 40 pounds due to working out then recently adding Medifast. I am hoping to lose 40 more pounds. I am having a really hard time eating enough. I started using Medifast to get more accustomed to eating. I was eating once daily, now I am eating 6 small meals- but not enough. I would love to join in your journey and help eachother through this!:happy:
