in Getting Started
So we all have interesting screen names on MFP... But what are your real names? My name is Heather and I'm almost (in Feb) 31 years old with a five year old son and I'm happily married. My goal is to get to about 150lbs but really would like to see at least 160-165 lbs. Right now I'm 198lbs and I've almost lost 10 lbs since I started. I'm trying a low carb diet and exercising at least 3-4 times per week. I'm here for motivation and friends and encouragement during my weight loss journey. What's your story?

    I'm Nicole. I'm 32 years old with a 4 year old son and a 10 month old daughter. I just celebrated my 5 year wedding anniversary. My goal (for now) is 165. I am currently 203 (down from 226). I started about 3 months ago. I exercise 4 times a week (mostly walking/jogging) and am doing portion control and watching my calories. I am also here for motivation and support.

    Sarcasm seems to be the going rate around here lol. No, I wouldn't say you are boring just becuz u don't have a creative screen name.

    Good to meet you Tonya. And yes "my name is Carrie" is a funny response. Apparently I didn't think this thru. I know some of u really are using your real names as your username. I was mainly talking about the ones that didn't.

    My names Kelly. This is the only website I have ever used my actual name. A good majority of the inter-webs thinks my names Lexi. :D
