My name is April I am a 31 yo stay at home mom for now. just graduated nursing school in December and gained 30 lbs while in school. I just moved to Pennsylvania and have no one to workout with or to help me in this journey. I weighed 125lbs 8 years ago at my wedding, and now at 200 lbs I am sick of sharing clothes with my husband, sick of not getting to wear cute clothes, and sick of being FAT! If anyone is willing to help me through this i would greatly appreciate it! I need all i can get!! I am also playing xbox kinect your shape fitness evolution 2012 if anyone wants to be friends!!

    I just joined back in as well! Trying to get my routine down for the moment. I also used to be "skinny" and gained a ton of weight :( Lack motivation until just recently! Unlike you I can't even fit my husbands clothes :( I went to wear a pair of his jeans for Halloween (ones that he wears to work on the car with holes etc) and couldn't even get them close to being buttoned! Ugh It was so embarrassing, I'm ready to be to the point where his jeans are way to BIG on me! We can do this! Feel free to add me if you like!

    I just started again too. I joined last year and lost 26 pounds, then gained 12 of it back when I quit coming on here again. I am having a really hard time getting motivated this year...I am training for a 5k that is usually in March. I think we can definitely help each other!

    I am new to MFP. I joined a little over 2 weeks ago. I am also looking for more friends on MFP. I have sent the people who commented on your post requests to be friends. I think the more friends we have on here the more successful we will all be. It helps having others who are facing the same struggles to chat with.
