New to MFP Community

Greetings!

I've been a longtime MFP user but haven't participated in the community until now. Every year I manage a few pounds off then life strikes and I gain three times that amount back. So I'm changing up my approach by including community for support.

I'm 37, a full-time desk jockey, and a full-time grad student (one year left!) but my kids are now teenagers so I have a little more flexibility with my time.

I know what I have to do to lose the weight and be fit again, I just need moral support when times are stressful and/or bleak. Thanks in advance for taking the time to say hi. Happy Friday!
