Mom, wife, nkotb fan. :P

I have been using mfp on and off for years. This time I am trying to lose about 40 lbs..and keep it off! I'm trying to eat sensibly. It is important to me that I eat real food, not shakes or diets that don't allow carbs or things like that. If that works for you, that's fine, it's just not what I want to do. I like to cook, so I look forward to making my own healthy, sensible meals and I love to share cooking tips.

Over the years the people on my friends list have come and gone and I could really use some more people who log in regularly and can leave encouraging comments for me (and for whom I can do the same!)

I'm 34, I have a 6 year old son and I'm married. My husband and I are both going to start a couch to 5k program, work towards doing our first 5k and possibly beyond.

I LOVE nkotb, so if you do too, that's a plus :) Thanks!

    Did somebody say NKOTB?? I am going to the concert in July :)

    I am new to MFP and the community here ( today is my first day) and am looking for some inspiration to stay on track and make friends. I have 2 adorable children ( ages 4 & 1 ) and a great husband who is very supportive.

    NOT NKOTB!! Um. I will be adding you as soon as I hit send. Then I will go back and read what you wrote. Which can only be amazing since you are a NKOTB fan!

    Thanks for the new adds, everyone :) I just remembered to check in on this post today.

    My picture is my motivation pic. I was almost at my goal weight there but I fell off the wagon and gained it all back. As far as NKOTB goes, Joey is my favorite (always has been) and I go to at least one show of each tour and try to do the special events they do when they come near me. I've also done 2 cruises. That picture was taken on Cruise 2011 on my birthday :) Best birthday ever!

    Anyway yeah, I love NKOTB and I love to talk about them so if any of you want to message me and share stories I'd love to hear them :)

    Hi!! I would love a friend request!! Girl, listen, we are all just doing the best we can. I have done MFP off and on also, and I am like in with the thought that this must change as a lifestyle. I need to loose 40lbs. also!! Girlfriend, I had gastric bypass 5 years ago...went from 320 to 160 and I am back to 200 now. There is NO magic shake or diet. It is dedication and making our bodies, and our minds/spirits/souls, move also. I have a 27yr old, who has moved back home, and 13year old twins. I am 47 years YOUNG and want to stay that way. I love life!! I love laughing!! I love being silly!! I love Jesus!! I love being with my family!!! I love my miniature dachshund, Ben!!! I want now to get my body back on track. I will never be a model walking the runway....hahahah (just the thought of those models make me laugh...so sad looking......because they are hungry!!), but I do want to be healthy. We can do this!!! This is a GREAT site and the more friends the better. I am sort of just now learning my way around this site as far as what all it offers, so send me a friend request..................I would love to chat and just let you know how wonderful you are and how each and every day offers wonderful blessings!!! EVEN WHEN TRYING TO EAT CLEAN AND HEALTHY!!!

    How bummed am I, now that they've come and left Atlanta, that I chose not to go. Seeing all the pics popping up on twitter and I'm like *pounds self on forehead* stupid, stupid, stupid. lol But eh, sometimes the financials don't permit ya know. *shrugs*

    Anyways - anyone can add me if you'd like. Avid NKOTB fan. Never will forget 10/27/2008 - when what I thought would never happen for me - finally happened - and I got to see NKOTB live. Now every time I listen to "SINGLE" - I always sing along the way Joey Mac started the song, "....so for the next SEVERAL HOURS Atlanta - we gonna be your boyfriends!"

    Then, went back again in July of the following year for their summer/outside venu show - loved it! Very close to them when they came out middle of the venu and stood on the tabletops and danced and sang.

    Skipped the NKOTBSB thing - BSB, eh, take 'em or leave 'em. So that's why I thought this new tour wasn't going to be anything I'd miss. I want to see NKOTB by themselves again like the 1st time.

    but these pics all over the place! again *forehead smack* stupid, stupid, stupid. lol
