Hey everyone, My name is Morgan and I'm quite new here on my fittness pal and would love some new friends and good motivation to keep me going on my journey! I'm 19 years old and its my first year in college studying nursing and I put on my freshman 15 right away! I am 5' 8" and weigh 180lbs and would like to get down too about 140lbs... I'm boardedlined with health issues with high cholestorol and know the only way to lower that is to diet and exercise. I'm trying to change some bad habits and making a new life with a healthy lifestyle! I'm actually loosing weight right by my mom's side... She is signed up through this site also and has a goal off losing over 100 lbs. We are eachothers support at home but I would love some other support though friends on MFP!

Sincerely,
Morgan!

    It's great to read that you and your mom are supporting each other, and working on making healthier changes. I just started a few days ago, so I don't have everything up yet, but I just wanted to say keep up the good work!:smile:

    Welcome to MFP! I am pretty new as well, but am here for support if you need it. I am a nurse, so I totally understand what you're going through. I also gained weight in college (I'm graduated and in grad school right now but am finally trying to kick my bum back into shape!). Feel free to add me if you would like!

    I'm 64 have been on here for 300 days as of today. I'm 5.8 1/2, and am slowly wending my way down to 150!
    You have most definitely come to the right site. I have 2 daughters on here, so I think it's great that you are doing this with your mom as well!

    Hi Morgan! I'm also a freshman (again--getting my second degree in an unrelated field than my first one) and am also in my 180s. Very cool that your mom is also on this site with you...it certainly helps to have a real-life motivator, though MFP is obviously an awesome motivator, too. Feel free to add me if you want! :)
