So I have had an on-again-off-again relationship with MFP and as of today, we are on again. Hopefully this time, I can put a ring on it and stick with it. Since beginning my journey, I have lost over 100 lbs but the total number has fluctuated between 105 and 120 for the better part of a year and a half. I've earned a degree and several industry certifications, all of which helped me land a new job, so all of the changes to my new lifestyle bumped my health down the priority list and I know it shouldn't have.

Last month I lost my dad due to complications from not taking care of himself ever and with 4 kids of my own, I do not want to be him in 20-25 years. Because of this, I am back. I rejoined a gym and am paying the extra money so my daughter, who is an amazing athlete, can go work out with me. This with a change in my diet will get be back on track.

I wouldn't mind some cheerleaders with whom I would be happy to reciprocate the cheer so feel free to add me!
