in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! 30 year old tattooed stay-at-home momma of two here in Ohio. I'm only trying to lose about 20 pounds or so now but more importantly make sustainable health changes. Previously to coming to this site (I was recommended by a friend) I lost about 20 pounds myself via diet changes and a deep obsession with Wii workout games, haha. I have a current goal of taking up running, so we'll see how that goes. Currently benched from working out for one week more due to a recent surgery but I'm itchin' to get out of the gate already.

Anyway, looking for friends with whatever goals of their own, just people I can chat with and read from to help me enjoy my time here at MFP. I always feel more accountable with a few talkative buddies around! So yeah... add me or say hi and tell me about yourself :)

    Hi there! I also just joined. I am a tattooed working mom of 3. I am down 40 pounds due to working out then recently adding Medifast. I am hoping to lose 40 more pounds. I am having a really hard time eating enough. I started using Medifast to get more accustomed to eating. I was eating once daily, now I am eating 6 small meals- but not enough. I would love to join in your journey and help eachother through this!:happy:

Three of them are preschool/toddler age and the fourth is a teenager so none of them are really that awesome right now. :) I've lost 22 pounds, hope to lose about 8 more. My Food Diary is open to all and I'm a burgeoning runner and I post regularly about my runs at www.wearywithchildren.com. Friend me!
