in Introduce Yourself
Hey! I joined a long while ago, but have just restarted my profile and am ready to shed this weight. I'm 27 and would love to be at my goal weight before I reach 30.

My name's Jen, I'm single, no kids and work full time at a technology company which means spending all day sitting on my rear. I'm here looking for inspiration and support to keep me accountable! I would love to meet new friends so feel free to add me!

    Hi Jen, My names Jen :happy: I'm 31 married no kids.... 3 dogs and 1 cat. I had to restart my loss a month ago. I have 8lb's to go to get to my goal weight, but that could change. I'm always looking for motivating friends. Add me if you would like :smile:

    Hi, Jen, I'm Kate. I just started a week ago. Yesterday I was down 2.2 pounds, today up up 1, so feeling frustrated! I know it's normal to fluctuate, but since I've been staying under my calorie allowance and working out more, I hoped to see the scale go down a bit each day - or at least stay the same. Anyway, I would be happy to be friends with you so we can all encourage each other!

    Hi Jen, my name is Jwan. I'm a military wife with two girls. Im currently a stay at home mom until my youngest starts school next year. With that being said it's a must for me to stay active and motivated. It will almost be a year since I've been using myfitnesspal. I absolutely love it. Everyone here is so inspirational and motivating. Feel free to add me.

    Hi Jen, I'm also sitting on my behind all day. Listening to some Destiny's Child at the moment dancing in my chair. Hope no one pops in to say hi. I wonder how many calories that will burn :o)

    You can feel free to add me as well. I used this website over the summer and have recently started over :) I'm 18 with just a 20 or so pound weight loss but I'm sure I still go through the same struggles as everyone else. Anyone who wants more friends for motivation, feel free to add me!

    You can do it!!!! I also have a desk job and sit the majority of the day, which can be hard when trying to lose weight!!

    Hey,

    Hayley, 25, married, no children.

    I'm a student so spend all day sat on my rear too and when I have deadlines and can't be bothered to cook I reach for convenience food. Doesn't help that hubby works in a restaurant so he's out 12-14 hours a day five days a week and I don't like him cooking on his days off.

    I'm always on the look out for new friends. X

    Hi! I joined MFP a while ago but today I am starting a new and I am determined to lose weight. I am a college student with 30lbs to lose. I am determined to do it, even though it has been a struggle. I am looking for some friends on here to be motivational and a support system. Feel free to add me!

    Best of luck to everyone :)

    Hi Jen - I'm Heather and I also have a tech job sitting on my butt all day. The accountability I get here on both calories AND exercise is what's made the difference: I reached my goal today! Feel free to add me.

    I'm restarting, too! You can add me! I have a full time job on my butt, too, but I go to the gym 2-3 times a day! I try to go before work and I sometimes add walking at lunch, too! It's doable, you just need some motivation! I need the support and motivation as well. I'll request you :)

    Hello.....

    My name is Jenn as well. I have 4 kids, a husband, and a sit on my butt all day job too! (which also includes a total of 3 hours driving to and from work!!!) Needless to say, I spend A LOT of time on my rear....... I just started this a week or so ago and really need the motivation as well, not only to stay on track but learn to be more open about trying new (healthy) foods.

    Feel free to add me and good luck!!
