Hello All!

I have been here since Sept 10 but am looking to add some more friends. I have some who have deactivated, some that are taking a time-out, and some that I just don't hear from. I login daily and try to comment or write to everyone at least a few times a week if not more often. I like to motivate and share ideas.

About me
>I am a RN in a pediatric ER and currently in Grad School to become a peds NP with a focus on adolescent mental health and weight management. As far as fitness, I run and strength train (New Rules of Lifting for Women). Family fitness is something that I also incorporate into my weekly schedule!!!

Looking forward to meeting some new pals!

    Hi!!!

    I just started running, and I am getting back into the weight lifting/strength training after a couple weeks off from suffering from Vertigo.
    I am doing the C25K..and I am on Week 3.
    I log every day...but sometimes get busy, and don't always have time to write to everybody (I have a LOT of friends on my list)..but I at least try.
    You can add me if you'd like.

    I'm a 'beginner runner'. I just finished the couch to 5k program and prior to that, hadn't ran probably since I was in high school. I have a good amount of weight to lose but I'm getting there.

    I'm also an RN. I work in a rural hospital on a med-surg/pediatric/telemetry unit. I work two days a week and am home with our children (ages 2 and 4) during the rest of the week.

    I love having friends that are in this for the long haul, feel free to add me :)

    Feel free to add me:) I'm a mom of 3 kids (and an angel). I just finished my first 10k race on Sunday and am training to do another one at the end of summer. I am also doing Body for Life to incorporate some weight training into my regime.

    I don't have that many friends on MFP but am on here regularly.

    I apparently forgot to hit reply! :bigsmile:
    I sent you a friend request. I would like to get into running. I have thought about doing the c25k program, but just haven't yet. Seems like quite a few here have been successful with it. My oldest son ran track and cross country and that's when I first started thinking of running.
