in Introduce Yourself
I am planning on being here a while seeing as I want to lose about 200lbs. It'd be nice to have friends to motivate me and keep me on track, and of course, I plan to do the same on your journey as well :)

    This will be my first semester in Business but I have changed my degree so many times. I've been in school for 2 years and so far I've went for Graphic Design, Accounting, Child Development, Fine Arts and now Business.

The folks on here are beyond supportive!!! You will certainly enjoy your time here :heart: I would love to be one of the many new friends you will be making here on MFP :happy: Sending you a friend request now.

    Yeah... making decisions is not my strong suit. :P I am not completely sure what I want to do as far as a job after I graduate with a Business degree but I know I want to be in this field :) Are you in school for something else or planning on finding something in your field?

    Hello Chrissy,
    I also joined MFP at over 300 pounds and have lost 44 pounds over the course of 3 months.I feel much stronger and happier since I started exercising and eating healthy meals. I think you'll find amazing support and motivation in this community. Feel free to add me. I leave my food and exercise diary open to friends, I log everyday and would love to help.

    Hey I'm new here too!!! ???? I'm 2 years postpartum and in trying to loose what fat I did gain and tighten up the muscles that were damaged during my c-section. I'm 22 and finally got the heart and motivation to pull myself together. I hope your journey is a happy successful one that is paid for with sweat and hard work (hope that doesn't sound strange it's sounded good in my head lol????) I'm here to support you 100% if you need it!!!
