in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone my name is Tanica and I was a regular on the site until I found out I was pregnant. I decided to take time off and now that my son is 2 months old I am ready to get back into the swing of things. I have some friends already but I am looking for more especially one's that are supportive and have something to say.

I gained about 40 pounds during my pregnancy and have lost 20 after the birth and with the help of breastfeeding. I plan on losing the other 20 and continuing from where I left off to meet my goal. I am so excited to be doing this and so happy to have this site where I can talk with others and get support and advice.

    Feel free to add me. I am a mom, wife, and I am employed in a pretty stressful career fulltime but I think it's very important to still find time for my health. So far MFP has been a great tool and I'm always looking for new positive friends. ;-) Good Luck!

    I just quit smoking and the doctor says I need to lose 40 lbs before she will consider taking me off blood pressure and cholesteral meds.... I definately need friends and support in this ..(as my co-workers are eating donuts outside my office and talking about which fast food joint to hit for lunch..)

    I'm also looking for friends! I log my food using my phone so haven't been frequent visitors of the boards, but I plan to change that due to my lack of success. I'm up and down with the same 5-7 lbs. I need strong support and together maybe we can learn a thing or two! I

    Rick, I totally understand this frustration.
    I've never been a smoker, but a few years ago when I was losing weight with Weight Watchers, the people in my office were always bringing in McDonalds breakfast and donuts. I was able to avoid joining them 99% of the time by reminding myself that what they were doing was unhealthy. I know it sounds bad, but I guess I kind of just had to make myself feel superior in order to avoid the bad habits! I recall THE ONE TIME when a coworker was running an errand and offered to bring us all back a breakfast sandwich from McDonalds and I actually accepted one (when I had lost 25 pounds already) and the others were making cracks about how I had finally come down off my high horse. It's very hard to make healthy choices when everyone around you is not only making unhealthy ones, but putting social and emotional pressure on you to join them. If anything, your choices should make you feel like you know something they don't :)
