Hello all & Happy new year!

I am trying to find the perfect balance, or perfect for me anyway. I'm still fairly new to MFP and am trying to find the balance between healthy lifestyle and working shift work. (Ugh the agony :yawn: ) Before I started my job 5 years ago I had lost 200 pounds and was working out every day, however, 5 years of shift work and not eating or sleeping properly has resulted in me gaining back at least 90 pounds. I'm looking to lose a minimum of 135 pounds but am shooting for more. I don't have a perfect number in my head, I guess I've never been a numbers girl. I want to get my body back to where it was and then make even more improvements. My only true number is I want to be under 200 pounds.

I have been a little agitated recently knowing that I'm not losing as quickly as I was in the beginning. I keep reminding myself that this didn't occur overnight and it's not going to go away overnight and to be patient and just breathe (Let me tell you right here and now patience was never a virtue of mine, but I'm working on it...Or trying at the very least). Luckily for me some of the girls at work have jumped on the MFP train and that does help. Support really does mean a lot.

I guess all of that was to say, I've been reading a lot of the success stories on here and I am motivated to continue on this road and have a success story of my own somewhere down the road.

    Add me!! My long term goal is to loose 100, but for the moment I just want to get to 200 pounds (so about 30). I'm currently a college student working on getting my BSW in San Antonio, Texas =)

    I'm new as well and need to lose about 85 lbs, so not quite 100 but close enough... Of course 85 lbs will bring me to the "higher end" of a healthy weight so once I get there I may want/need to lose more. I guess we'll see!
