in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone.

I just joined mfp on Monday. Looking around the forums I am so motivated after reading and seeing the photos of lots of other mfpers.

I am from Galway, Ireland. I am currently a stay home Mom.

I have about 100lbs to loose so the journey is going to be a long one. I previously lost lots of weight in my 20s but piled it on slowly over the past 10 years. I just got my bloods done in the drs when I went for a pre diet / exercise check up and thankfully all was clear. I feel so lucky not to have gotten diabetes / cholesterol or any other nasty thus far!!

I have lots of weight to loose - currently lost 11lbs in the last month. Hoping to keep up with that progress and look forward to a new slimmer me!

Looking forward to getting to know others in a similar situation. Hopefully we can keep the momentum up.

    Hello. Welcome to MFP. This is a great place for support! I have about 50-60 more lbs to lose before I am at a more comfortable weight. Congrats on the 11lbs. Keep up the great work. Feel free to add me for extra support! Good Luck!

    I get the diabetes scare... runs heavily in my family. It's great to hear your taking charge of your health! Keep up the great attitude and it'll keep coming off!
