in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I'm new to MFP and looking forward to this new journey of eating healthy and getting in shape and trying my best to finally commit to it. I've tried almost everything but I realized it's a matter of changing my lifestyle and not dieting for a periods of time. I'm a 35 year old working mom and studying to get my master's to become an elementary teacher. Stressed, overworked, overwhelmed and lack of time has gotten me to this point. But now it's all about making time to take care of myself and not just my family. I would love to make new friends here so we can motivate each other. Go us!

    Hi! I saw your post because you added me as a friend. I'm also on my first week and loving MFP so far! I'm a SAHM right now to my beautiful 1.5 year old, but I was a middle school teacher prior to giving birth to her. I'm excited about having some friends that are starting at the same time I am. Have you taken measurements yet? I just did it now and logged them all. That was a shock! :O

    I'm so glad to have new friends here starting this journey just like me. I'm also so inspired by those that have been on here for a while and working hard for their new lives. I haven't taken measurements yet, I plan on doing that tonight. I'm sure I will be asbolutely shocked as well. But our new lives start here today :)
