Hi everyone!

My name is Christine. I've been on my diet since July '08 ( with a lil break around the holidays :blushing: ). I started at 223lbs. I am currently at 198lbs. I started on another fitness site which I really like, but then I found myfitnesspal and already seem to like this one better! I'm having a way easier time finding my foods to journal.

I am mother to 2 beautiful girls, 6 years old & 1 year old. I am currently engaged to the man I've been with for almost 4 years. I have MS...which causes a lot of depression and fatigue. I have a hard time keeping up with an exercise program, but I'm trying my hardest with yoga right now.

I love having friends that are trying to get in shape too, it really motivates me. Even if it's just checking in once a week with a weight and how I've done. So I can't wait to meet new people here!
