Not new, but looking for friends

Hey, my name is Kate. I'm 26. I joined MFP in 2011 and have been using it since. I had good results with it in 2011 (lost 23 lbs), but I have stopped counting calories and the lbs have slowly returned. For some reason I have not had the motivation to lose like I did in 2011. I am overweight and would like to lose 30lbs. I know it is doable. I did it very easily in 2011. I am getting married in a year, so that adds an extra motivational component. I work full time as an RN and I am going to school for my doctorate as a nurse practitioner (thankfully I have the summer off). I love being outside. I live in Milwaukee. I also have an adorable great dane puppy, named Darla, that I adore. Looking for friends. I am sorry, but I will be selective. I want to add friends that I will actually communicate with and not just everyone that sends me a request. Lets do this together!

    Hey there! I am not new to MFP either. I am looking for friends who can help motivate me! I've been using it seriously for almost 3 months now. I am having a difficult time losing the last few pounds and really want to get it together! I am an Accounting student about to graduate. I love great danes and dogs in general! I have a long-haired dachshund mix. He is super sweet and well behaved! Friend me if you are interested!

    I'm on here daily, way chattier than I probably should be, and like to run a lot. Training for a 26.2 in October. Please feel free to add me, I love to see other runners doing their thing :)

    Hey girl! I'm in a similar situation. I used MFP, lost a bunch of weight but stopped logging and measuring what I was eating. I'm back now and back at the gym too. I too need to lose 30 lbs. I'm already married though. =) BUT my inspiration is summer time here in FL where I live. Bikinis EVERYWHERE and I'd like to be included and feel good in it. Feel free to add me if you like. I'm a dog lover too! I have 1 pitbull/lab mix and 1 hound dog/lab mix. Both adopted. LOVE them!!!

    Hey Kate,
    I'm also a RN and love using MFP to stay in shape. Being a nurse, I'm serious about my health and I log my calories and fitness daily. I was also born in Milwaukee. Great city! Add me if you're interested!
