My story/Introduction

Hello everyone.

My name is Mandee. I am a 25 year old mother and a full time student working on my associates in Office Administration as well as m bachelors in Psychology. I attend Montgomery County Community College. I am currently a stay at home mom to my son. Due to current situations with my son, my son's father and I felt it was best for me to be home with our son. So, I have been going to school in the meantime to earn my degrees for a better job when he is able to start attending public school. I will have my certificate in Office Administration after this semester is over so I will be walking in May of this year. I will also be walking again in December for my A.A.S. in Office Administration. Only one more semester to go!! I am hoping to earn my bachelors in Psychology by the end of 2015.

I just currently started gaining weight within the last two years. I have never been above 125 pounds before that. I am now currently 156.2 pounds but as of last year I was 180 pounds. Because this weight is so new to me, I am having a hard time coping with it as well as loosing it. I feel like the recognition that I am overweight, just really hit me hard recently and made me realize that this is real and I need to do something about this before it gets out of hand. I would not say I have an overeating problem. If anything it is quite the opposite. I do not eat sweets or snacks such as chips or ice cream. Up until starting my weight loss, I was having a hard time feeling hungry and some days would only eat one maybe two meals. I do not drink anything besides milk and plenty of water. That is how I have always been. My doctor thinks I may have a problem with my thyroid so he recently just ordered me to have blood work to check if there is an underlying problem. I am hoping to have those results this coming week.

I do workout every day. I use Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred as well as Blogilates. I have lost just over 20 pounds so far using those two. I do not have time to attend a gym. My son needs me right now home with him and being a full-time student takes up a lot of my time. I am looking for friends that also meet their weight loss goals from the comfort of their own home and not by attending gyms. I feel like that type of similar motivation and advice would benefit me the most. However if someone who does attend a gym to loose weight and has some valuable advice and motivation then by all means, friend me!
