in Introduce Yourself
Hello my name is Heaven i been on mfp for a little while now (mainly on my phone)! so far instead of losing weight i gained an extra 5 lbs :(! im looking for people to add as a friend who will stay positive and give friendly advice and pointers...

A LITTLE BACKGROUND INFO
Im 23 years old my whole life my weiht has gone up and down due to medical issues amoungst other things

when i graduated from high school i was close to 300lbs and i was squezzing in to a 18/20 i was comfortable for the most part with my weight because everything else was fine in my life in

2009 i lost over 100 lbs and i was a comfortable size 14 going into a 12 and then i got pregnant!!!

I had a high risk pregancy they put me on steriods and made me eat and stay in the bed so that i could gain weight and my baby could develope because they thought i was going to have her early!!! needless to say she came in 2010 4 days after my due date and she was healthy and happy!!!

i gained over 100 lbs while pregnant with my daughter... i breast feed her for about a year and a half and i dropped more then half the weight that i gained while pregnant!!!

soon as i stopped breastfeeding i gained 20lbs and was haveing lost of complications with my iud and i had to get it surgecally removed!!!

NOW
im a 23 year old college student with a bvery busy 2 year old my birthday is in May i graduate in June i would love to get in shape and really keep the weight off this!!!

MY GOAL
i am currently 253 im 5'8-9' and i would love to get down to 180 by my birthday (May 16) or by the time i graduate!!! thats a total of 73lbs so to get it off by my birtday it would be a total of 20 weeks so that 3.5 to 4lbs a week i need to lose i know i can do it this is going to be a good year for me i can feel it!!!

    I think you can do it and I'd love to support and have a little support in return. I'm trying to lose about 60/70 pounds myself. I'm 23 and a student, recently got out of a long term relationship. I'm just trying to regain a little confidence, feel better about myself, you know. My birthday is in may too. :)
