in Introduce Yourself
hi! my name is jennifer and i'm looking for friends for support! reaching out in the big cyber world can be kinda scary and intimidating, but i figured i'd give this a shot.

my interests include:
-my faith
-my family (hubby and 3 lil ones)
-thyroid disease... primarily autoimmune hashimotos
-paleo meal plan (lots of food intolerances/allergies unfortunately for me)
-running (well jogging, cause i'm super slow) ;)
-elliptical machine

i would love to join others on this weight loss journey as i believe it will assist in success. i would love to offer encouragement and support to others like myself. i plan to log every day and will be active at mfp as i'm most always near a computer. i enjoy logging everything... i'm just a nerd that way. if you'd like to be my friend on mfp just let me know. ;)

    Hi Jen,

    I'm in the same boat! Looking for friends on here because I think the motivation will definitely help. I haven been trying to lose weight for years and all that happens is the amount of weight I need to lose keeps increasing! It started with 10 pounds, then 20 and now I'm up to 30... I really need to get it together and stay committed so that I can go back to feeling good and most importantly healthy. :) Please feel free to add me and we can root each other on!

    -Cindy

    thanks so much for the post! i feel the same... sadly most of my friends and family just dont get it or dont care to. i've decided that this is my one and only life and it's up to me to make the most of it. i'm choosing to pick a healthier lifestyle not just for myself but for those i love. i would love to buddy up with you to offer each other support and motivation. we CAN do this. :) i'll send ya a request. thanks again and have a blessed one!
