I'm not new here by any means, but I am making a come back and looking for new friends. I found the following on a thread someone with 80+ lbs to lose wrote and thought it applied to me so I'm going to copy and paste and answer the questions and if any one else would like to, feel free! And then add me if you want a new friend!

1. Intro & How much do you have to lose? Goal?
My name is Amber and I am 26. I would like to lose approximately 80-90lbs. At my last Weight Watcher meeting before I quit, I was at 208.6 lbs. I started at 217 in November. My goal weight is 125 lbs and I am 5'4.5.

2. How much have you lost?
I have lost about 9 or so lbs this time around. In the past I was successful in losing weight with MFP. I went from 195 to 140 in about 8-9 months.

3. What are your long term goals?
I want to acheive and maintain a weight of 125lbs by my 27th birthday. I also want to run a 10k with my boyfriend this summer.

4. Do you have a good or bad relationship with food?
I have a roller-coaster relationship with food. I have a history of disordered eating/chronic dieting and want to make this more of a lifestyle change (buzzword I know) than another diet.

5. How do you plan to keep yourself accountable?
I plan to stay accountable by planning my meals for the week and trying to stick to them. I also plan to continue running clinics and running club with the Running Room and my boyfriend. I have also made a friend who I invited along to the run club and will stay accountable by encouraging her to come out regularly with me.

6. When do you want to achieve your goal? Estimate?
By my 27th birthday, October 3rd of this year.

7. What are your motivations for losing weight?
Being healthier, having less weight to carry around when I'm running and trying other new forms of exercise, fitting into old clothes and also into styles that I love but don't work for me at the moment.

8. Do you have support outside of MFP?
I have a new fit friend, my boyfriend, and run club
