in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone!! I am a soon to be 30 year old mum of 2 (3 1/2 year old and 8 month old girls) and an Intensive care nurse from th e UK. I have always been a big girl since I left home but since having my youngest I have tipped the scales at 199lbs and am struggling with losing weight. Some work colleagues have recommended MFP so I thought I'd give it a bash. Am desperate to lose some weight before I turn 30 in November - the plan was to be thin for then but its not gonna happen now :-( Would love to be my Uni weight (133-140lbs), my hubby has never seen me that thin!!

    We have some similtarities. I am 23 and weigh 204 currently. My son is 8 months and my daughter is 3 1/2 :) This place does help in many ways. Adding friends and helping you to keep responsible for everything that you do. It has great benefits if you use them to your advantage. Looking forward to seeing how it goes for you. :)

    Feel free to add me, I'm in Greenock :flowerforyou: I also work for the NHS but I do administration :smile: Sounds like we have similar goals, I would like to reach a healthy weight by the time I'm 30. I started on here in January 2011 and weighed 13st 8lbs and currently just under 12st, still a long way to go though, but you'll find plenty of support on here! MFP is the one thing that has successfully helped me lose weight and I'd be lost without it!

    Hi, I just started using the site properly yesterday though I've been a member for ages. I live in Ayrshire. Feel free to add me as a friend (that goes for anyone else too. I need all the weightloss friends I can get, lol). I've got over 6 stones to lose so it's going to be a long journey.

    I've been using MFP since the end of January and have found it very helpful - I'm a little over 4 stone down! I also live in bonny Scotland (or rather grey East Kilbride) and would be happy to have new fitness pals. Any of you bonny lasses can feel free to add me and we can work on becoming hot mums together!
