in Introduce Yourself
HI! My name is Courtney and I once was HUGE. WELL over 300 pounds... but after I had my first daughter in 2008, I decided to get in shape so I didn't have to be the "fat mom" at the playground. I love 160 pounds over about 18 months and I finally felt like my outside matched my inside :D
Fast forward 5 years and 2 more babies... I am now inching a weight I PROMISED myself I would not hit again... EVER... so I am working on losing 40 pounds and getting back to where I want to be.

I would love to meet some MFP friends to keep me motivated!

    I am in the same boat, I had three children and my weight got to 315, I got motivated and lost 150 pounds, then 5 years later we adopted and had 2 more bio children and my weight has crept back up. Now I wanna go back down 60 pounds or so and need support. Not really sure how this whole thing works just joined today. Looking for support.

    Thank you! It was a lot of work.... worth worth every drop of sweat, minute on the treadmill, and chicken and broccoli dinner!
