Fairly new to MFP -- Not new to weight loss maintenance

KarenFord1988

A little about myself -- back in 2007, I decided I was fed up with being overweight (somewhere around 200 pounds) and began learning about fitness, diet, and exercise. I lost about 60 pounds and have pretty much kept it off. I did have a small digression when I started school. Working full time and going to school will cause you to make unhealthy food choices, for sure. I gained about 20 pounds of it back, but have since lost it, plus a little bit more.

I've been using a personal trainer for almost 2 years and it's going great. I started using MFP a little over a month ago because my trainer wanted me to start tracking my food and I presented "reverse dieting" to him as an experiment. I wanted to start lifting, and lose body fat, so this is the route we are trying at the moment. It's going well.

I don't have a ton of "real-life" friends, and those I do have poke fun at my diet and exercise regimen. I don't care that they do that, but sometimes it is annoying. I don't make fun of them being fat -- why should they make fun of me being fit and healthy? Anyway, I'd like to make some friends -- either online or in person -- who have similar goals, interests, etc. I live in the middle Georgia area and I am one of three people in my office. The other two folks are men, so as you can imagine, I don't get much interaction with people in general.

I'm looking for people -- men or women -- to be friends with and to help motivate if needed. Thanks for reading my book!
