in Introduce Yourself
Hi guys, I just joined MFP yesterday after hearing so much positive stuff about it. So far seems great! I always liked the community/forum stuff but always found tracking hard to keep up with but I am determined to do it..with the app on my ipod as well should make it a little easier.

Anyway I am a 36 year old SAHM of 2 boys, aged 8 and 11. I live in Canada and spend most of my time home with the boys as my hubby works away alot. I am in the process of planning for our wedding for March. 2013. I have about 25 lbs to lose and I am in this for the long haul. I am not into the fad diets, or the shakes or wraps that everyone seems to be into. I am doing this to become healthy and fit for both me and my family!! I love camping, reading, goin for walks, treadmill, wii, having a few socials with the girls sometimes. If you feel you have anything in commom with me I would love to meet some MFP friends on here to keep in touch with and chat with on our journey.

    Hey! I'll be your bud! I'm a Canadian Mom of 3, I'm 33.

    I just started this a little over 2 weeks ago and it's working really well for me. :o) Was a SAHM until tomorrow, when I'll be starting a new job, so might need a bit more motivation going forward.

    Welcome:flowerforyou:

    Hi, I'd love to be your buddy! I'm Andrea, 35, mom to 2 kids ages 2 & 5 and wife to my hubby of almost 13 years. I live in Michigan and have just started MFP-in fact, I'm finishing up my first week. I lost about 25 lbs doing old weight watcher points last year, and have since gained 10 of those pounds back. :( It took me 6 months to lose those 25lbs so I'm really bummed it's creeping back up on me now that I no longer count points. I found MFP through my sister and thought I'd give it a whirl. I'd like to lose about 20 pounds this time, hoping to keep them off by learning how to eat and exercise better. Good luck to us all! LOL

    HI
    I'm a single mum to my 11 year old son. I've been on this journey since end of July. Its going well, a few setbacks but you pick yourself up and dust yourself down and keep going.
    Discovering that i have more time now as he's becoming more independent and will start high school in August.
    I'm in Scotland, so different time zone, but you can add me if you wish!

    You can add me too! I'm 37 - mom of 3 - two boys 9 and 7 and a 4 year old girl. I was a stay at home mom for the last 9 years - up until this past December - now I work from home - which is pretty much the same except now I am sooooo busy during the day and I have like ZERO down time!! I'm in Texas - I have more weight to lose than you but I am just now getting into adding friends on MFP - lol - and I'm realizing it does help to hear what everyone else is doing!

    Hi! I am also a 35 yo Canadian mom to 2 girls, 7 and 10 looking for some friends. I have been here 50 days and lost 6 pounds. It has been slower than I expected but I am still figuring out what works for me. Most of my exercise is walking and gardening but I think I will need to pick it up to see bigger results. I love the accountability of the tracking and the social aspect keeps me focussed. I hope we can support each other!

    Hi! I am a 38 year old SAHM of two.

    I just got back on the MFP wagon. I have always had to watch my weight but I usually catch myself before I get 10 lbs over my ideal weight. My Dad died 2 years ago and then my DH lost his job. We have relocated twice since then. Needless to say, things have been rough. I have managed to maintain my exercise all this time, but my weight just keeps climbing. I am out of control with my eating! I have 20 lbs to lose and I need some support!
