Hi,

I am very motivated to lose weight and i'm looking for a wonderful support group of like minded people. I have been using MFP for a few months now and I'm starting to see results. It is a hard journey though and I could benefit from some outside support. My ultimate goal is too run a half marathon. Or at least finish one. Since I quit smoking I feel like I can do anything I set my mind too.

Victoria

    Hi Everyone,

    I decided that as of today - that was it - I was tired of not getting anywhere, and saying 'I'll start tomorrow' routine... Being not able to use a gym for strength work, due to hemiplegia, the best I can do is walking everyday, and daily exercises for my hemi.

    I've finally decided it was about time I looked after myself properly, instead of everyone else first. Sounds kinda bad I know, but it needed to be done for me, my kids and my family. I also have my brother's wedding in the next couple of years so that's extra motivation to do something about it.

    I'm looking for new friends, anywhere and everywhere to share ideas with and to help each other along our awesome journey. I apologise for the length of this post, but I thought I'd put it out there, what I'm about..

    Feel free to add me too ladies...I had a meltdown this afternoon...tried to polish my toe nails and then dropped the polish on the wood floor. Called hubby and walked over to the campground office..we are campground managers here in Branson, MO and just started bawling, telling my hubby I am so fat (248 lbs), was down to 241 and then life got crazy and now I am back up again. I need accountability, challenges and encouragement and want to give the same to others. Thanks for adding me.
