Hello all, I've been on myfitnesspal for about 4 weeks, I've lost 10lbs so far, so only 70 more to go. I'm losing in hopes it will help in my efforts to get pregnant. Sounds silly lose weight so you can gain more while being pregnant. Anyway, married for 3 years, I work in daycare, I've been overweight/obese my entire life...well at least since 2nd grade, that's when I remember starting to be bigger than all of my friends. I'm 5'9, 232lbs as of this morning. Anyway, I'm looking for friends so I can stay motivated.
Thanks! :-)
Thanks! :-)

Hey! I am 22 (almost 23) and I also live in NC. I am also 5'9" and I have about 70 pounds to lose as well. My goal weight is only 180 though. Anyways, I would love to be friends on here to help motivate each other! What part of NC are you from?0

I live near Mt. Airy, which is close to the VA border. About 1 hour northwest of Winston Salem.0

Hi everyone! Taramartin101 and Dorzrzz, I'm also in NC and around your heights. I'm in Fayetteville/Eastover and have similar goal weights to you both. Feel free to add me if you'd like!

hI! I'm in NC as well, close to Fayetteville. I know how you feel... at one time I was about your same weight but i'm pint sized, 5'0" so it looked like it was more... I was in a size 24 for a long time. Then I got pregnant with my third child (yeah, that's where some of the weight came from, but I didn't do anything to get rid of it afterward...) I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I lost over 50 lbs from breastfeeding which is a great way to do it... I am now close to my "perfect" size, only about 14 lbs to go and i'll be moved from the "obese" to the "healthy' category. Can't wait! It's tough but you can do it! A favorite quote of mine for alot of circumstances is "just keep swimming, just keep swimming" Good luck!0

Nice areas! I used to live in Eden! Live in Seattle now though.0 -
I'm 29 also, and although I don't work at a daycare I used to be a nanny and still do a ton of babysitting while I'm in grad school. Kids can be a great workout Not quite enough to meet big goals, but at least we're not sedentary. Friend request coming your way.0

It does sound funny, but having children is so worth it!! I am new in a sense to MFP, signed up before but did not keep with it. I am praying that this time I stick with it and lose the much needed weight I need to lose! Supports are a definite plus!! Would love to establish a group of friends on here to support and also keep me accountable!!0

Hello,
You can add me if you want. I am 29 years old (big 30 in July), 5'0 and weight 187 lbs as of last week. I just joined MFP this week so its only been a few days for me.
Good luck and great job on the first 10 lbs!0 -
