in Introduce Yourself
I just joined MFP yesterday! I'm 43 (44 next week) and female, and live in the Washington DC area. I have a very sedentary lifestyle because I work as a Network Engineer and like to play games on my computer at home, so I sit a lot. I'd like to get more active, eat better, and lose about 85 pounds over the next year or so.

I lost about 75 pounds in 2011 using MediFast, but then my father died in January 2012 and the past year's been rough,and I gained over half of the weight back. It's time to get back on the bandwagon. :)

    Hello.

    Sorry to hear about your father. I hope MFP works for you. It has a lot to offer. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

    Same thing happened to me. My mom passed away in 2001 almost 6 months after I got married, then my dad passed almost a year later. I was stressed, my marriage went in the can. Now it has taken me 8 years and 50 pounds of weight gain. I think I am finally on the right path back. I feel better, I don't let stress getin the way anymore. Add me for support

    My Mom passed away before my kids were born and my Dad 10 yrs later. My Dad would have turned 90 on the 15th so I understand. You will discover a great network of people and support. I'm around a lot so feel free to add me!
