Hi All,
My name is Amy and Im 26 almost 27 in Feb. I have a young two year old son and currently am going through a divorce. My parents and family have been a huge support. I've always had a love/hate relationship with food and my body has shown it with going up and down in weight. I am now at my hugest and its humiliating 221 lbs,I've always been a litle thick but never like ths. I need to get it under control and get serious. I also work in a hospital and want to be a good role model for my patients. Please add me. I would love some encouragment. Also Happy Holidays!!

Hello Amy,

Hi everyone,
Instead of starting a new thread with the same topic, I am just going to reply to this one. I am new to MFP and I love it so far. Day 1 is almost over and I have calories to spare.
My short term goal is to lose 30 pounds in 6 months. That's 5 pounds a month, does that sound manageable? I can use a lot of encouragement and motivation and have a lot to give. Please add me as a friend and give me a nudge if you don't see me for a few days.
Thanks!
Keep pressing on ladies0 -
Hello ladies... New to group as well feel free to add. We all have one thing in common is to live a healthier life0
