I don't have a lot of friends

in Introduce Yourself
.. on MFP, and that's fine! I do, however, enjoy snooping around and learning from others either at my level, below, or above.

I do fall off the proverbial wagon.
I do make poor choices occasionally and recognize it.
I do move on from those decisions in an attempt to make better ones.
I do keep my food log open and photoblog.
I do not keep any secrets about what I'm taking in and putting out.
I do not exercise as much as I should, but I am working on it.
I do not wish to be chastised for the bad choices, but encouraged with support on how to make better ones.

I'm 5.5 months postpartum. I'm 27. I'm in the 180s and I'm a stunning 5'7 in heels, but a mere 5'5 without.
I'm heavier in my midsection than anywhere else.
And I'm taking this seriously.

If you're like me in any way -- whether you like snooping, don't mind being snooped on, about the same size, close in proximity, have an active social life (challenging, I find), a new mommy -- or as dissimilar as can be, but understand that people fall, get back up, and make small changes toward one big, great one, I encourage you to befriend me because I want to learn from you.

    Feel free to add me if you'd like. I don't have any kids, but I certainly do have my ups and downs :-) I don't care who snoops... I really doubt I'm that interesting anyway!
    I'm on here most days unless I'm on vacation or things are super crazy at work. I try to keep my comments positive, but I'll call you out in a constructive way if I see repeated patterns that don't seem to be helpful to your goals.

    Good luck to you!

    I'm requesting your presence, if only for this reason.
    Thanks for the reply!

    Great intro!

    I am in my late 20s, have a boyfriend whom I don't live with, and live in a metropolitan area, but like you, I struggle with my weight, I fall off the wagon and climb back on every so often, I am almost never under my calorie goal, but I don't really care even though I am not losing weight quickly. But slowly but surely I've lost weight which means I've found a sustainable lifestyle. I, too, am not that active in the forums and don't want to be chastised for all the decisions I make, but I do like seeing peoples updates and progress, and like to snoop on occasion. I also enjoy random encouragement from strangers here and there. It sounds like we are pretty similar so I'm going to send you a friend request! Hope you don't mind :)

I fall off the wagon a lot but always try to get back on :). I log every day and try to work out 6 days a week. Looking forward to getting to know you!
