in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I have been using MFP for a while on my iPod, and just recently came to the actual website to =discover these forums and all this other cool stuff! I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Robin, I'm 24 and I live in Florida. I have been married for a little over a year. My husband is a teacher, and I work in freshman admissions at a university. I'm also working on my Master's degree in Applied Linguistics, and with that degree I'll be able to teach English as a second language at the college level.

I'm really happy this site has forums-- I love forums! My CW is 144, which is just about the highest I've ever been. I hit this weight once a few years ago, and I worked hard and lost it-- down to 115-- but then I have gained it all again since getting married. Blah! I have not been able to get the same level of commitment this attempt that I had last time, so I've been sort of stuck at this weight for months. I don't know if 115 is feasible goal anymore, being a few years older now, but I would like to get down to at least 125!

I'm also hoping to run a 5K in the near-ish future... as soon as it starts cooling off, I'm going to get back on the Couch to 5K plan :) Right now I'm doing the 30 Day Shred in the mornings (Day 5!) and I'm considering taking a beginning ballet class too!!

That's all about me... looking forward to getting to know everyone here!! :)

    Hi! I started a few weeks ago at 142, Ugh!!! My goal weight is also to get to 125.. That would be super.. I was 120 on my wedding day, and after getting married got up to 135, The funny thing is I felt way overweight then.. Now 10 years and 2 babies later.. I am ready to be 125 again.. I got down to 130 last summer for my sisters wedding, But unfortunately did more of a crash diet, and went crazy after.. So now a year later I am 10 pounds heavier, So anyway My adventure begins.. I have lost 3lbs so far and am looking forward to being 130, and Then 125.. We can do this! Its time to feel good in our own skin again!
