    I am also an RN in nurse practitioner school :) The stress from that alone is enough to derail anyone!

    Hi. I've been on Myfitness Pal since January. I use my ipad to keep track. This is the first time I am on the website. I just love this app!!! I couldnt live withiut it. I am a 5 year breast cancer survivor. I thought I would lose weight during treatment but just gained, gained, gained!!! In December, I fell and broke my hand. I decided that I was too heavy to balance myself, and decided to change my life!!! I now walk 6 days a week for about 45 minutes. I walk about 2.5 miles a day on the treadmill. I also do yoga and the balance ball. I have never felt better, and will continue this forever!!!!!

    HI, my name is Wendy. I have been on MFP for a couple years now kinda hit and miss. But I am trying hard to stick with it this time. I use in on my pc, android and ipod. My son (age 10) is also on MFP. We are trying to make the lifestyle changes together. I know i have a lot of weight to loose, but I just keep making small goals. Every 5 lbs matters!! I am a single parent, work full time, we are also with Cub Scouts too. But somehow we make it all work! :happy:

    Hi Robin!

    I've been on this site for awhile and didn't introduce myself either. Hopefully getting some support will help

    I've never introduced myself either and I've been on here for a year as well! So great to meet you! I'm hoping to also receive motivation and encouragement with my weight loss journey. I've had yoyo weight since I graduated highschool (a long time ago) lol. I'm only 5'4 and I'm at 171lbs and I would love to drop at least 30lbs. I've gotten close before but never quite hit the target and now my weight has been slowly but surely climbing back up. I have a problem with eating the right foods, I love fried chicken and pasta waaaaay too much and unfortunately as I get older, it's more difficult to not gain weight when I'm eating those types of foods. Anyways, looking forward to mutual exchanges of motivation with everyone! We can do it!!!!! :smile:
