Im Lindsay, and im trying this yet again!!! i work full time at a store on the beach and i go to school full time and im working on my masters in clinical mental health counseling. Along with this i am interning at the salvation army. I want to lose weight so so bad!! although it is extremely hard with such a busy schedule and im really not trying to make excuses, but i need to do this. i just recently gained 25 lbs when i orginially onlly had 20 lbs to lose so know im left with 50 lbs to lose :( i said this is enough when i realized how hard it is to shave my legs, cross my legs, and well my relationship w my hubby has gone down hill too, not becuase of him but because i do not feel comfortable.

I am interested in hering everybody elses stories and be here to support each other!! good luck everyone :)

    You can do it!!! It might seem like a lot but it's really easier than you think if you put your mind to it 100%. Fell free to add me as a friend if you like.

    Hi. I'm fairly new to MFP, but I find it to be an awesome and helpful tool. I have about 30-50 pounds left towards my goal and would be happy to help/encourage you. Feel free to add me.

    P.S. - I totally understand how hard it is with such a busy schedule. My schedule is similar to yours for similar reasons, school, work, family, and volunteering. Not sure if this is an option for you, but I go to the gym late at night after my teenaged children are sleep and before my hubby gets home from work.
