Good morning Everyone out there :)

I was on this site primarily for tracking my food and exercise, but wanting to kick it up a notch by finding some really great supportive people on here.

I recently came back after losing my way for a bit---had some recent life changes come at once---both of which I believe are for the best, but were pretty stressful---job change and major surgery :) I'm desperately afraid of gaining holiday weight; therefore, decided to track during the holidays to keep myself in check and started a challenge with my sis and niece to hold off on the holiday treats until my brother and his wife come for Christmas holidays Dec 21. I'm going to try to hold off until Dec 24th---personal challenge.

A bit about me: 39 yrs old lady who is a Christian--I have about 100 lbs I would like to lose and my goal by summer is to lose 50. Very first goal is to lose 25 lbs by Easter. My interests include going to boot camp class 3 times a week---working up to 5 or finding other ways to boost my physical activity level to keep from getting bored. I am also a Registered Nurse who tends to be a bit hard on herself because in terms of lifestyle, I should know better. :)

I have no children, but am a super auntie to 2 great kids who live in BC (visiting here right now for Christmas holidays). I'm also in a serious relationship for 3 years.

Continuing on in my Journey and hoping to encourage you in yours....

TeriBeary

    Hi, and welcome to MYP. I have been on here for the last few months and found it very encouraging. As a christian you may find the group Christians Unite MFP helpful.

    I live in Northampton, England and married to Shan for 30 yrs, with two grown up children who have flown the nest.

    Feel free to add me,

    God Bless

    Hi, feel free to add me! My Mom is from Edmonton and I've spent a lot of time up there; Winters are rough (though I heard this one isn't bad, yet?). I'm younger but I think it's good to have support from people who are a lot like you AND people who are not so much like you! Good luck on that 100lbs!!
