I want to know about YOU. :)

So I'm new on here, looking for support like the rest of you. I thought it would be fun for us all to say a few things about our selves. Stuff that has nothing to do with losing weight. I mean, we're all more than just what we're trying to do to lose weight, right? And it's easier to get support from people if we know more about them besides just what they weigh. :) I'll go first:

My name is Angel, I'm 19 and I have two kids. I really enjoy reading. I really like Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Batman, so I guess I'm kind of a nerd. Ha. I don't admit that to many people. Right now I am a stay at home mom, and I'm going back to school next spring. I would like to be a teacher. I have the greatest boyfriend in the world, he takes such good care of us. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I'm working really hard to straighten things out. I'm pretty friendly, so just message me if you want to talk about anything. :)

    I'm Gaby, 22, and a college student studying engineering. I have a job on-campus as a IT helpdesk worker. I hope to someday be a field researcher in nanotechnology, so I'm going to be in school forever pretty much.
    My favorite animals are cephalopods- Cuttlefish and octopi. I have a giant, colorful octopus tattoo on my back/shoulder as well as other small tattoos scattered.

    Thought I would reply especially as we've just become friends :)

    I'm 25 and have 2 children with my bf who I've been with since I was 14! I am an open university student studying towards a humanities specialising in creative writing degree and I'm in my second year. I start creative writing module later this year and a psychology course (as an optional) at the beginning of next year, after which I will receive my certificate of higher education in humanities :)
    Both my kids birthdays are in July (10 days apart) so this month I've been busy buying presents and eating cake haha. I have a white German shepherd (which people call a wolf lol) named Mika and a cat called Twiggy who is scared of her own shadow.
    I recently moved to a place I love and these past few months I've felt the most positive about life. :)

    I'm 42 yr and I don't have any children. However, I have volunteered with a Gospel Performing Arts group for the last 15 yrs. So, I actually have about 200 kids, Lol! Aside from volunteering, I'm a courier for FedEX Express (by the way, if you see any FedEX truck coming down the street in this HOT weather with an open door, it's because the truck isn't air conditioned. So, please get out the way. He he). I am also a part time student majoring in Business Management. Lastly, I love playing the drums (just started 4 months ago), writing poetry, scrapbooking (even though I haven't had time to do it in awhile) and playing racquetball/tennis.

    Starbucks is the BEST! I've been a vegetarian for almost a year as well (actually, I don't eat meat but I love real cheese and eggs. I tried the imitation cheese-as a pizza-just didn't work for me. Lol. I've been natural for a couple months now, and I love my hair texture! Anyway, happy hair growing! I hope you take pix.

    Hi!
    I'm Chris, I’m 20 years old, I am a 2nd year university student studying psychobiology on a pre-medicine track; hoping to become a doctor of neurology or psychiatry in the near future. I work for my university as a residence life ambassador (think concierge since my university turns in to a pseudo-hotel over the summer). I tried going to the Navy right of high school but received an eye socket fracture in boot camp and was discharged; I plan on going back as an officer. I currently stand at 6' 3" and weigh 222lbs; I am hoping to drop to 200 in the next 12 weeks. I love to read, I like video games, and I can understand Latin.

    I'm Carin, 28 y/o, 2 kids- 2y/o boy(almost 3) and a 4y/o girl. I got married when I was 17.. separated now.. he walked out (another woman) when our son was 4 months. I am a CNA(certified nurse aide) but not currently working. hoping to return to work and school when my kids are both in school(next fall). I had been working on getting an ADN/RN degree, took all the general classes the first few years out of high school but I never turned in my application to the clinical program. now, I'm not sure that is what I want to pursue.. I'd really like to become an ultrasound tech but there are no schools around here that offer it (a 2 hr drive to the closest one) and the same from where I could live with my granddad.. so I'm considering radiology instead since the local tech college does offer that.

    Nicole, I'm 25, and engaged to my middle school sweetheart . We build and race cars in Enduro Races ( no holds barred, ram whoever you want racing) I draw, paint, and read tons. Volunteer for Carma, a cat rescue group here in the Maritimes. LOVE to cook, my recipes suck sometimes, but other times they're amazing.

    Hi there! I'm Chase, I'm a mom of two boys and married to a handsome cop. I'm a firefighter and an EMT and I love love love my job. I love to read, watch movies, listen to music... I have two bands that are tied for "favorite band of all time"... Bon Iver (I've seen them in concert twice) and Staind (I've never seen them but I hope to).

    I'm training for a half-marathon and most of my exercise is running, though I do lift weights at work to keep my muscle endurance up. I love to adventure, but I am landlocked and suffering from a serious lack of excitement in the bible belt.

    That's all I can think of for now!

    I'm Anna, 33 year old single mom to the coolest kid you can imagine. I work as a billing coordinator at a MRI imaging center in good 'ol Boise, Idaho. Adopting a low carb lifestyle has proved to be a challenge in the land of potatoes. I'm addicted to musicals (the cheesier, the better) and theatre in general. And I have been known to spontaneously break out in song and dance. :)

    My name is Amanda, 20 years old. I also want to be a teacher, currently in college majoring in Social Science Education with a minor in Political Science. I really want to get a Ph.D in Political Science, just for the fun of it. I might be a masochist. I have two fish named Dionysus and Sophocles but we call them Dio and the other dude. I'm moving in about two weeks and I'm hoping to get some pet rats and maybe a hamster and name him Lord Rockingham. I love to read. The most recent book I read was Oedipus Tyrannus (which was inspiration for my fish's name, since it was written by Sophocles.) I want to read the Communist Manifesto. I have a third nipple. I like purple, and tacos. And especially purple tacos. The end.

    My name is Sandy. I am a 58 year old divorced mother of 2 grown kids...one in Boston, one in New Orleans. I love to crochet (as you probably guessed) and although I can knit a bit, I am a very basic one. I am currently unemployed, which helps when you want to lose weight. I am a big baseball fan and moderate my own group on a crochet/knitting site of lady Phillies fans. We also get together IRL a couple times a year to see a game or go on a yarn crawl. In fact, one of those ladies recommended MFP to me...and I am eternally grateful to her!
