Hello *waves*

Hey, my name is Tonya! I am married with three kids, a student for medical assisting and work part time. I had an account on here before but was away so long that I deleted it and made a new one, At my heaviest I was 337 pounds and got down to 244. Sadly I started back into my old habits and gained back up to 279. I started a new program, take shape for life and I am going onto week 2 and am down to 263. So I am pretty excited.
I love getting to know new people. Feel free to add me as a friend if you are someone that is absolutely serious about losing weight. I love reading about success stories, it is such an inspiration. Seems most of us are here for the same thing, to lose weight, get fit, and watch our progress grow. So I wish you all the best for reaching your weight loss goals.

    Hi there, Welcome Back!

    I am new to MFP and only been doing it for 5 weeks (17lbs off), but already I cant imagine doing this with it and the army of friends that join you on your trip.

    Well done you for realising that you needed to do some thing before ALL the weight went back on (thats my usual trick)
    I have a feeling I will be using the tool for life, otherwise I know that I will slip down that slippery slope.

    If you need some new friends to help you along the way please feel free to add me.

    Hello, you can add me as a friend if you wish. I am in New Zealand so am online often when others aren't. I joined in March but didn't get serious until Easter and since then have been daily dedicated. Looking to lose at least 20 kilos, probably 30 kilos really. I'm finding the MFP site really good and its easy for when I work away from home with iphone app. I'm a sales rep for a cake/ biscuit company so that presents its own challenges as we make some really good products.
    Oh... my names Denise, married, with one teenager still at home.
