in Introduce Yourself
My name is Dawn, I'm a thirty year old living in Ohio. I have an amazing, supportive, beautiful fiancee, her name is Calissa. I'm a physical therapist assistant student (hello stress eating)!

I have been on weight loss journeys before. I actually lost 80 lbs years ago using myfitnesspal! But here I am about four years later, and have gained about 50 lbs back (ouch that is hard to say).

So I am back again, this time committed to not just losing weight, but also to just being more healthy. Making better health and food choices, so I can maintain a healthy weight once I achieve it again! So I want to find balance in this journey.

I am lucky to have support at home. My beautiful financee is on her own journey as a well. But I'd love to have more friends and a large support system here as well! I found it helped me last time around.

So if you are in need of non judgemental support, and want to give the same maybe we can encourage each other!

    I like you lost about 50 lbs several years ago. I just had a baby, and I'm a teacher. My job is stressful but my little one (and myself) has motivated me to become a heathy person once again. We can do this!

    I am starting MFP again, I gained 22 pounds last year after months on steroids, due to illness. I need to loose this weight again. My health is back on track and I just need my body and my head to follow. Would love to inspire you on your journey back to good health, Happy New Year.
