in Introduce Yourself
Hi y'all! I am a 27 year old mama to a wonderful 6 year old and wife to an amazing army man. In the military, they are all about fitness and I want to be able to be active with my two great guys. I currently do not work but I am a full time student working towards my bachelors degree in Business Information Systems. I love computers and working with them.

I have struggled with weight since a teen. It is affecting my health, way of life, and those that I love. I am ready to get healthy and be more active. I feel I am in a catch 22 as I don't exercise because of how out of shape I am and I am out of shape because of not exercising and unhealthy eating habits.

I look forward to making new friends and having an awesome support group here so we can encourage each other to lose the weight and be healthy!

Amber

    Welcome. You are going to do great on this program! It really works if you follow it. Add me as your friend if you would like. I love encouraging people and just knowing other people are in the same weight loss journey as I am on MFP makes it so fun and it is so encouraging.

    I am new to this too, but i wanted to share something I learned about being so body conscious. I am also in the military and I had a baby after 40. I worked out rigorously, but six months later i still had half the fat around my middle. I had to do my fitness test around that time, I stood in the back and watched those young skinny girls size me up, I could see they thought they could easily beat me running across the line. I can't tell you how wonder ful it felt to cross that line before them and then over hear one say " I can't believe she beat me'. I was fat but fit. To me it was better than being a size 3. Get strong, stay strong and good luck to you.
