Friends in Tampa Bay???

Hello, I'm Crystal. I'm a 34 yr old mother of one amazing teenage boy and wife to wonderful loving husband. I decided to join MFP on the advice of my new PCP. I tried spark people and got no where. I've tried this website once about 8 months ago but only for a couple of days. This time around I'm on a mission! I started here weighing 240.4 lbs and I'm just sick to death of it. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I have invited a few friends and family members who have proven to be a wonderful asset here and have become my rooting team mates. I have already lost 4 lbs! So I am completely stoked! I am setting small attainable goals for myself rather than setting a 100 lb goal that may make me feel like I'll never reach the end.

I've tried looking through profiles and sending messages. I only received one response to my message but no friend request. I am looking for more friends because let's face it, the more the merrier, but also because all of my friends and family are out of state. I would like to form a circle of support here in the Tampa area. My vision is that I will not only form a support group but to make some great friends. I figured we could get together, talk about our successes, our slumps, offer encouragement, ideas and even get together to exercise. Lettuce Lake Park is not to far and is a wonderful place to walk and enjoy nature. Or maybe you have some ideas of meeting places?? If you are interested please feel free to friend me and tell me a little bit about yourself to break the ice.

I hope to make lots of friends. Good look to everyone out there!
