in Introduce Yourself
I live a busy life as a working mom! Love my job as an RN but sometimes we have 10 mins to eat and you better fit a bathroom break in too! Looking for people to share the knowledge they have gained and maybe learn some meal ideas. My diary is open to those that are friends. Oh, and Greek yogurt has become my friend!

I'm 48 yrs old and looking to lose my weight before I am 50 in the summer of 2014. I'm tired of being overweight and not being able to buy nice clothes. Not to mention, I feel like a hypocrite when I counsel PT's on the pitfalls of being overweight. I'm not sure what spurred me on but out of the blue 3 weeks ago I said, "Enough"! I went straight to the store and changed my eating that day.

As I have told my family, "I am on a healthier eating adventure and since it is an adventure I shall treat it as such"

    Feel free to add me. I have to lose around the same amount. I work crazy hours, and am a full time mom. My diary is always open. Good luck with the rest of your weight loss.

    I have also sent you a friend request.

    I am in a similar boat. I am a physical therapist (I graduate in May) and feel exactly the same way.... I hate being a hypocrite. And I had a similar revelation about a week and a half ago!

    My diary is open and hope we can help each other out!!

    You can add me. I have same goal as you, only I am about to graduate with a RN. Quit smoking last year and packed on more weight, so now it is time to take it off and be a role model.
