in Introduce Yourself
Hello there! I am a married 26 yo mom of two, looking for some friends to help keep me motivated. I would like to lose 100lbs over the course of the next two years or so.

A little about me....
I love to read anything
I love to write
I have been married for 5.5 years
I have 2 kids Mason and Adalyn
I work full-time as a nurse in a psychiatric institution
I am in school 3/4th time for my RN

I tend to have a dry sense of humor and am the victim of social anxiety. I recently joined WW and have my first
meeting Wednesday. Needless to say....TERRIFIED.

    Welcome blmcdbug! I've been on a similar journey but am now down to about 60lbs to lose. I am currently doing a keto/paleo lifestyle and am in the medical field (MLT) and I would love to help with the motivation. I've learned the more friends and mfp peeps you have the more motivation you have and can give! Add me if you would like :-)

    My long term is 100lbs (to get me into Army regs on weight). I find it easier for me to set short-term goals. Right now I have two~ lose 30lbs and lose 20% body fat. Feel free to friend me if you'd like. :)

    Thanks guys!! I am hoping... I know I can do it if I can keep motivated. I am still trying to get the hang of the points stuff. I did Atkins last year so this is all backwards for me!

    Hi All!
    I'm 28 and am in the same boat. It scares the crap out of me that by the time I'm done meeting my goals, I'll have "lost" the equivalent of my 13 year old sister. I look at her and think, "Where the hell are YOU hiding in my body?" This is the year to get serious though- I'm a type 2 diabetic and am going to be looking to start a family. I want to really kick it in to high gear! I'm looking for supportive friends who will call me on my s* and who are positive influences and who are interested in building friendships so we are fully motivating each other :)

    I have struggled with loosing weight pretty much my entire adult life. I made every excuse as to why I was not successful. I am a mother of 4 children and we lead a very active life, and I say we in the sense I sit back and watch. I no longer want to be a spectator in my life. I lost my mother 5 weeks ago after an 8 year battle with ALS, and when we were planning her services my sisters and I were looking through all of our childhood pictures and it dawned on me my children will not have these memories as I did. Pictures of my mother snow skiing with us, and water skiing with us. Pictures of her playing softball and basketball with all of us girls. I want this for my kids and for myself. I have just at 100lbs to lose. My husband and I have decided to follow the Herbalife plan. We are going into this knowing this is a lifestyle change not a diet we are going on. We know very well that even after we have reached our goals we will still need to follow a lot of the plan. Here's to a happy and healthy 2014!!

    Well here goes everything - hopefully :bigsmile:

    My goal is to rid myself of 60 pounds total 30 this year. i dont like to diet. I also prefer to make changes versus 'diet' becasue if I can get this weight off i dont want it back.

    I am taking baby steps. I never had to worry about weight before when I was younger and for the last 4 years i guess i was in denial.
    i just didnt think it would stick, I was that one friend you had that could eat whatever and always stayed the same didn't exercise didnt watch calories or fat or carbs.so here I am a few years down the road and trying to figure it all out.
    i have started eating not only better but on a regular basis. one of my issues is i can go most of the dayand forget to eat. Which I know is not good for me. I also have started the Power 90 1 week in and stil alive

    I am looking to give and get motivation and to develop friendly support lines, friendly but also no BS accepted. i have to stop kidding myself and excuses are not an option.

    i do not know how to add people but am working on figuring it out.

    About me - I am 38 mom of two wonderful kids, my oldest is 19 and my youngest is 15. I love books, music, my family and my dog.
