in Introduce Yourself
Hi guys

My names Jannah, im 28, studying full time (BA Primary Education) and have been married for (almost) a year.

Im restarting MFP today after a very unsuccessful year (i gained back the 10kg i lost last year!) and was so depressed by the upwards slant of the little progress graph, that i decided the only way to get back into this and not be influenced by past failure was to delete the account and start fresh... so here i am!

I am very motivated, and seeing as though i am on my summer break, have decided to focus my time on myself and getting healthy! I am feeling good and very positive!

I am hoping to find some friends with similar goals to assist with motivation. I know seeing your successes will spur me on, as i hope my success will do for you.

Please add me!

Jannah :)

    Yeah add me, I need to look about 20kg, am on MFP pretty much daily and like to think I provide motivation!!!

    Am 32, married for a year and a half, and the weight has crept on!

    I used to ride horses daily and was quite fit, but I've stopped that through marriage (my choice) and now I spin and step and pull weights, loving it...

    I feel I'm fitter than before, but need to just shift the bulge...

    i was just mentioning to a colleague that we need to re address our desires, from get fat to feel healthy and live the healthy life :)

    ADDED!

    I totally agree that the focus needs to shift from 'skinny' to healthy. Totally what I'm aiming for these days. :)

    Added! I'm looking to start my new lifestyle by December 1st at the latest, once I have everything in order. So you can count me in as a support buddy. :) I may be on and off before December 1st, but after that I should be on here every day! Best of luck!

    Hello! Looking for support and friends on here as well! Have 30-40 pounds to lose and like many of you have gained the majority of it after getting married two years ago. I also work full time, go to school part time and between my husband and I, we have 4 kids at home! one of my biggest hurdles is finding the time and energy to work out! Feel free to add me as well!

    I am new and definitely interested in any community possible! It's hard going it alone! I'm about to get engaged (my friend told me she has insider news... so I should start prepping, haha) and I put 30lbs on during my 2 year grad program... so now I want to lose it to a) look like I did before I started school (I used to be a yoga teacher and aerial circus performer... so I was fit! But I had no time during school and now I'm just out of the habit!) b) get in shape to look great for any upcoming nuptials and c) get back into a healthy lifestyle!!!

    I'm happy to encourage and support anyone who will encourage and support me!

    I have used this site before with little luck, but that was my own fault. I am a single, professional, and travel often. I was hoping for some friends to so we can help motivate each other and exchange tips, since I'm trying to start fresh.

    Thanks,
    Nicole

    I'm just starting out with MFP too. Looking to lose about 15 pounds and fit back into my pre pregnancy clothes. I just had my third daughter in Aug and want to hit my goal by my 40th birthday in Feb!
