Hello, I'm a single dad to a beautiful three year old little girl. I'm looking for motivation as we all are when it comes to getting in shape and staying there. I live in Oklahoma and am a scientist by trade. Feel free to introduce yourself.

    need MFP for maintenance and to stay motivated. I fell off the wagon after moving because of altitude sickness. I am back in the game now, 5 days a week gym and the weekends are filled with hiking and motorcycles.

    I've done this before and MFP is always a major part of my journey. The last time I was using this site I lost 45 pounds. Yeah me! But then life happened and I let stress and depression win the battle. I put 30 of those pounds back on and I am NOT happy and just don't feel good. I'm back at it and more determined than ever.

    The stress is not gone and won't be for some time BUT I am NOT letting have the control or power anymore.

    I've got a total 80 pounds I'd like to lose from here. If you'd like some support, I will be on here daily. I promise to cheer on your victories and give you support when you need a kick in the behind. All I ask is that you provide the same....

    Send me a friend request if interested.... and, good luck on your journey. Let's kick FATS butt!

    (I work for a scientific association. What type of chemistry do you specialize in?)
