My name is Brigit. I am 5'1" and currently weigh 192. I am looking to drop about 40 pounds. I have been as low as 143 pounds 2 years ago, when I was going through a divorce, and I don't think I look good at anything less than 150. I am Pear shaped with a good size butt, and I am happiest when I still have some curves. There is a difference between rolls and curves though, lol. I am looking to get more fit, as I am the mom to a beautiful 9 year old daughter. I want to be a positive example of healthy living for her. When I am not planning for the zombie apocalypse I work full time as a nurse, and I am currently back in school to further my education. I am engaged to a wonderful man, who loves me for me, and is nothing but supportive of my lifestyle changes, but he is naturally tall and thin. I think it's hard for someone who has never had a weight problem to truly understand the challenges I face on a daily basis.
So, I am looking for positive, motivated people to be friends with!
