in Introduce Yourself
Hi. I've had the MFP app on my phone for about six months, but only recently got serious about my health and weightloss - again. I mainly read at the discussion boards and find them very motivational. A little background on myself, I was the chubby baby of the family until my teens when I really got into diet and exercise and lost a lot of weight. When I married at 20 I weighed 115 lbs ( I'm 5'5"), was put on bed rest the last 3 mos of my 1st pregnancy and quickly gained about 60 lbs. After my second baby I developed some health issues and found myself about 100 lbs overweight. About 5 yrs ago, I got with the program again, and dropped 40 lbs. In 6 mos. Then, a close family member was murdered, and we began homeschooling our daughters. Major lifestyle change and depression equaled a regain of about 25 lbs. I downloaded MFP and was ready to get started again, then I had a grade 3 calf tear which took me out of the game for a while. I'm back in and ready to go now. I'm hoping with the motivation and support I get from the MFP site not to have the setbacks I've lately had. Wish me luck, and willpower! Lol! Thanks!
