Hi guys. My name is Cheri. I'm a 26 year old single mom, working and going back to school. Before I got pregnant I was one of those girls who could eat anything and exercise rarely..if ever. I hung around 130 lbs (5'7"). Then Rory came along, my doctor insisted on "restricted activity" because of complications and somehow my metabolism went down the drain. When she was born I weighed 197. After a few months I got stuck at 160-170. About 6 months ago I downloaded the myfitnesspal mobile app. I did great!....for two months anyways. After losing about 15 lbs I gave up, gained it all back and then some. I quickly gained weight, now I weigh 185!! It's time to get serious. I don't want to go it alone this time...so here I am. I'm hoping to find support and make friends. (:

    Hey! I'm new as well. I need to lose about 30 lbs to reach my goal. I'm looking for friends who can motivate me and I will give back support as well. :)
