in Introduce Yourself
Hi!

Started using this site about 3 weeks ago, and I've already lost 15 pounds! I had actually signed up last year but got away from it. Life gets in the way, but I'm not getting any younger and it's time to get serious.

My name is Kate, I'm 37 (eek!), married for almost 11 years, with a 2 year old daughter. I'm an RN, working in a hospital full time (3 12 hour shifts a week). I live outside of Fort Worth, Texas, although I'm originally a Yankee, having grown up outside Chicago.

Looking for some friends to help keep me motivated....I have a few friends on here now but would love to have more so I can be inspired!

    MFP is a great tool and wish I'd found it when I started my journey! Keep up the good work and NEVER quit! Be patient & forgiving with yourself and take 1 step at a time - literally! Friend me if you'd like ... I've certainly been in your shoes! (((Hugs)))

    Congrats on the loss. I've been a member for a bit, but started to get serious about 3 weeks ago. I live in Arizona, but am originally from Chicago. Due to health and medications, it is very slow going for me. I also need to lose 100 pounds.

    Feel free to add me as a friend. I would love to help support you on your journey.
