in Introduce Yourself
Okay, so I’m not new to MFP. Under my avatar box it says I’ve been here since Jan 2011. I tried counting that on my fingers but I ran out of them. So it must be a long time. I’ve also posted a few times in the threads, but just ignore all that.

My name’s Christine, you can call me _Christine_. :wink:

I’m thirty *cough* years old.

I have kids; three actually, a set of twins just for fun. I wish I could blame them for my weight gain or the 12-years I sat at a desk job, but I did this to myself. :ohwell:

I’m here for the accountability. Not that I want everyone to yell at me for not working out that day or tell me great job when I do. Matter of fact what I really like is seeing others log their workouts. I’m a little competitive. Not like, “I can bench press more than you Wimpy McWimpster.” But like, “Yay, they broke a sweat, I should too.” (Side note, I can bench press a 3-year old, that’s my limit. So chances are everyone on this site has me beat.)

This is where I was going to add pros and cons to being my friend, but the cons list was twice as long as the pros list so I deleted that part.

So anyway, if you like lame chicks who know more about the Marvel Universe then her own… add me.

*And for my old friends: I tried. I really did. I sat down yesterday and started to delete everyone. I was going to just use MFP for food and exercise logging and no more socializing. And then I deleted someone I could never re-friend and I felt instant regret. <sigh>

I didn’t log anything yesterday… so it appears I need y’all for accountability and awesomeness. ‘Cause the truth is I’m totally lacking in both areas.

Sorry for that. <sniff> Looks like I’m here to stay.

    Christine,

    You can add me if you would like. I have been on a hiatus for a while and just got back on. So I know the feeling. The only thing you can do is keep plugging away and if it works it works but it will only work if you want it to.

    hi christine :-) I've joined up here months ago and have only just started using it, procrastination is my middle name! I also have 3 kids, well, 2 stepsons who live with me and my other half and our little lad. My main problem appears to be my inherent dishonesty of what I consume and seeing it all written down has kept me away this long. Who knew bread had that many calories, sheesh! anyways, my motivation is that we're off on holiday in 5 weeks and i don't want to feel lumpy bumpy wobbly and miserable. I've started exercising again the past few weeks as I quit all forms of movement when I was pregnant and my son is now almost 16 months old. Managed to lose a bit of weight breastfeeding but the last bit is obviously gonna take some effort!

    anyways, i'd best log off for now as it's late and i'm not good in the mornings ;-)

    Best wishes,
    Heledd xxx

    To begin with... your hair is BREATHTAKING. I have major hair envy. (salutes **Major Hair Envy**)

    Secondly: I will not send you a request because you do not want it. But you are most welcome to send me one.

    That is all.

    I've had 30+ since starting this thread.

    I'm beginning to think MFP is a bunch of rebellious folks.

    We should start a revolution.


    Oh! Better yet, let's plan a flash mob!

    I just friended a dancer and a DJ... we can do this.


    Well except I had to quit Jazzercise because my bum knee... that and I lack coordination.

    Curse the luck. I'll just sit her and crochet some more.

    You kids have fun stormin' the castle!

    You are obviously nuttier than a squirrel turd, and that is awesome! Keep on keeping on... Log your grub, grind out your workouts, and post that stuff religiously. I'm gonna add you regardless of your insistance not to, do what you will with it! Good luck!

    Where were y'all in high school when I sported a bad perm and bucked teeth?!

    Okay, since the FRs are still coming in I thought I’d add those cons now:

    1. I can’t spell. Like I can’t spell so bad that spell check can’t recommend a word to replace the one I botched up.
    2. I have a Spider-Woman comic book collection. (With a few Wonder Woman’s tossed in for fun.)
    3. I don’t have pets. I use to, but now I have kids.
    4. I sometimes move my lips when I count. Not all the time, but sometimes.
    5. I’m a professional organizer… that’s code for OCD/or CDO.
    6. I will make sci-fi references on your wall that make absolutely no sense.
    7. I have a bum knee and will periodically whine about it.
    8. I live in yoga pants. And I’m one of those moms who really shouldn’t.
    9. I eat fast food and drink cold drinks. (I heard you in the back gasp… it’s okay.)
    10. I drink bourbon and wine and girlie bottle drinks.

    11. And I cuss sometimes.
