Hi! I am Cheri, thats pronounced Shure-ree. :) I love to be crafty and i LOVE to sew, (i make rocking clothing, purses, accessories and lots of other things and sell my items in my online shop). I like to drink coffee, lots of coffee. i listen to music 90% of the time. I enjoy tattoos and changing my hair color and spending time with my husband and my 2 year old little girl.

I am 5' 1". Before i got pregnant i was 187. I worked out my entire pregnancy in fear of gaining a TON of weight. I only gained 19 lbs and 3 days after i had my baby (june 09) i was 177. :D A few weeks later i went thru a lot of health issues and it jumpstarted what ended up being a loss of 40 lbs (which took about a year to do). I got to my lowest weight last november which was 136. Ever since then i have ben bouncing up and down from 135 to 140. I would really like to get to 125 or 130 but i keep losing motivation. I know i have come a long way but i really want to reach that goal. So here i am trying to do so.

I'm not TOO new to Myfitness pal but i am very new to the community boards. I'd love some friends, to share some motivation, tips and experiences with, etc. I'm pretty friendly and i don't bite! Thanks for listening to my introduction rant!

    Hi there! I'd love to see your crafts! I'm more a knitter/crocheter...never been good at sewing...

    I have a lot more weight to lose...but would love to have you as a MFP friend? I'm a single (but newly engaged) mother of 4 daughters. I'm hoping to lose a little over 60 pounds.

    Best of luck on your journey!

    Hey, nice to see you! I'm pretty crafty and have 4 tattoos myself. I stick to cross stitch for the most part. Do you have a Flickr or Etsy site? I'm on here because I previously lost over 30 pounds but gained it all back and want to try again. So good to feel like you have a support group to help you through. Good luck with your goals! Maybe we can join up and be MFP friends?
