I've been on MFP since end of January or so.. and I love it! I love seeing everyone's progress and daily logs of how they're progressing. It's a big motivator for me! That being said, I'd like to see more friends on my newsfeed. :)

A little about me.. I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.. I'm 28 and a mother of a beautiful boy named Kyle and I'm currently training for a half marathon in two and a half weeks. Training has been pretty rigorous. I feel like a lot of my free time is being eaten up by running.. but it will be worth it.. I hope so at least!!!!

I'd love to meet more of you! :)

Welcome!

    I would love to be your friend. Your little boy is adorable. I live in Iowa and am 63. I can say that for 2 more days! Anyway, I have 5 kids and a wonderful husband and we have 9 grandchildren. Seven of them live right down the road from us, about 1/4 mile. We love that.

    I have been on so many diets. I have just started to ride a stationary bike and I love it. Since I have a fused ankle and bad knees this is perfect for me.

    You have done so well with your weight loss. That is fabulous! Wow, that is a fast loss!

    Take care,
    Jean

    Feel free to add me. I'm a single mom with 2 kids (21 & 12). I work full-time and take 3 college courses per semester at night. Changing my mind-set to make my health and personal growth as much of a priority as the rest of the important things in my life (my job, kids, etc) is what I'm working on. :flowerforyou:
