Hi all! I'm Marie and I'm 26 years old. I have a lot of extra weight to lose - the ultimate goal I'm aiming for is to lose about 160 pounds. So far I'm finding MFP very helpful.

I'm an eclectic solitary witch, who was raised as a strict Catholic, but spent enough time around those teachings to realize they weren't for me. I've been rather lapsed recently, and just set up a new altar in the hopes of beginning to walk a more spiritual path again.

It's nice to see you all here. Blessed be.

Welcome to the board!

Wassail and welcome!

I am also a level 2 Reiki healer who wishes she had bees and critters! I'm working on that one!

Wassail and welcome! Nice to see a male on here!

Wassail and welcome!

I LOVE String Theory! It's amazing to me that science is just proving what our ancestors already knew. All things are connected and we are nothing more than vibrating energy!

I'm of the Asatru ilk and the String Theory perfectly fits with the whole 'weaving' concepts from this mythology. Amazing stuff!

Wassail Hannah!

WOOHOO! Another Asatruar! I actually lean more towards the Vanir than the Asir but using Asatru keeps it easier for everyone.

My best bud and I practice Spae-craft. Nice to 'meet' someone interested in this here.

Hi, I'm Hannah. I'm an Asatruar, Heathen reconstructionist with a healthy interest in reviving the ways of the Völva and Nordic Shamanism

I'm soo excited to see soo many practicers of Asatru!

I'm 25, engaged to an awesome Danish guy (who is also Asatru), and due to have our marriage in December in Denmark. I've got a 3 year old from my first marriage.

My starting weight was about 189 in May of last year.
CW: 172
GW by wedding in December is 145

I've always been a pantheist and went Asatru about 14 years ago. I've also practiced Norse shamanism

Welcome to all the new people here! I'm Lisa. I haven't been on in a bit but am back.

Hey there! I'm new to MFP, thought it might be a good idea to pop into some groups where I could develop a support base and what better than one filled with people who share the same beliefs as me! I'm a 21 year old solitary practitioner from Ontario, I've been practicing for 8 years. I was trained by my first priestess in Alexandrian but I've since branched out and I'm more Georgian than anything. I mostly work with the Greek pantheon but depending on who I'm connecting with for whatever I'm working on I will touch on other pantheons.

Over the last year I've lost around 60lbs through weight watchers and moderate activity but then in February of this year I fell in love, while I was on an exchange to England, and fell out of love with my diet/exercise regime and so I've gained about 10lbs. But that was the wake up call I needed to get myself back into gear and since my WW subscription has expired I thought I might as well save money for the new wardrobe I'll need and join a free site like this.

So hoping to make some new friends, add me and I'll add you back! I'd love to have as much online support as I can get.

Merry meet!

Merry Meet!!! I finally found you all on MFP, I was really beginning to wonder
I am an eclectic pagan, I love the Celtic traditions. I am a kitchen witch all the way! I love being in the kitchen either baking or cooking...needless to say, I like to eat as well.
When I restarted MFP in July of 2012, I was 255, the heaviest I have ever been and realized at almost 41 years old that I need to change what I eat, and that I need to exercise. Not just want to be healthier, not eat okay some meals and surely STOP eating to fulfill whatever emotion I was dealing with at the time.
I am now 30 pounds lighter with about 60 more to go.

Eileen here.... Merry Meet! After 60 years I finally discovered the name for my belief system.... Naturalistic Pantheist... but rather than try to explain that to people I just say I'm Pagan. I don't believe in deities literally... I like to think of it as symbolic names for natural things, and if calling that gods and goddesses works for some people that is more than fine with me. I celebrate the seasons.... Yule is coming up fast! I revere the earth and the universe and all things in nature. Give me a breathtaking sunset... that is better than any cathedral to me!

I am a full time fine artist, as is my husband. We live within earshot of the ocean with our little dogs and the occasional mostly grown child of one or the other of us paying extended visits. We are most blessed.

I am working on staying fit. My weight was pretty high at one point and I lost it all and kept it off for 5 years, only to have 17 pounds creep back on. This was causing some health issues that had been in good control to resurface. I knew I had to get back with the program and so far I've lost 13 of the 17 pounds. I'm having a hip replacement (unrelated to my weight) in 6 weeks and I need to be the best ME I can be physically to insure a good recovery. Plus, I want to look as hot as a crone can look!

Thalia, Blessed Yule and Merry Meet! And a Blessed Solstice to everyone!

Hello I am Cheryl a 49 year old Pagan, Mother and Grandmother. I am at 180 right now and want to get to 120. I am 5 foot tall so that is not an unrealistic goal. I am hoping to lose around a pound a week. My path is mostly Green Witch Craft with some Wiccan thrown in. I look forward to getting to know everyone and losing weight with you all.
Bright Blessings
