Hi,

I'm 24 and I've "started" many, many times for as long as I can remember. My current weight is 164lbs, with a goal weight of 115lbs. My highest weight has been 180lbs+. I don't know the exact number because I was too embarrassed to check. The picture that I've seen suggest maybe 185lbs as my highest? I have lost and gained multiple times since then. I went all the way down to 147lbs but that was short-lived. I have maintained 164lbs for a year. I'm frustrated with myself and I want to prove to myself that there is no turning back now.

Everyone says that they are serious and stop at the beginning/half way or for some reason just 5-10lbs before their GW. I've been one of these people and have partnered up with these kind of people. It's not entirely their fault, as many things can happen in life that are out of control. However, this time I really am looking for serious weight-loss partnerships.

I'll say a bit about myself to let you decide if you're interested. As I mentioned, I'm 24 and a student. I'm annoyingly organized and make charts of my workout schedule lol. I'll probably ask if you want to too. I have currently started doing yoga/meditation in the morning and hope one of you is interested in this too. It's an internal struggle to wake up every morning, it'll be nicer if someone is struggling with me. I have a sweet tooth and a really bad emotional eater. I eat secretly a lot and is the major cause of my weight gain. I enjoy beer. I'm trying to cut that down but I'll treat myself to a cold one once in a while. I have battled severe depression twice. I'm currently fine but it manages to creep up on me once in a while.

As for hobbies, I enjoy outdoor activities such as, kayaking, hiking, canoeing and running. I love kick boxing as well. I recently injured my ankle, so I can't do a lot of things. My daily goal is to burn anywhere from 600-1200 calories 6 days/week and just burn calories from yoga only on the 7th day. I have unfortunately ran out of funds to get a gym membership (I live in a small town, so it's expensive) but I'm planning to just do elliptical workouts at home. I love art, kpop/jpop, anime, variety of shows and music. I love learning new things and an open person.

In my weight-loss journey, I've studied this topic quite thoroughly. I'm also a medical student, so although I'm not a practicing physician yet, I'm confident in my knowledge. If you're new to weight-loss, I can help you understand

Requirements

1. Age is not a big issue for me.
2. Don't care too much for you to being momentarily motivated but discipline is a must. I'm still working on it, so obviously you don't have to be perfect lol. However, I'd like us to help and push each other until we reach our goals.
3. I prefer that you have similar stats (especially the height). The weight can be + 20lbs/- 10lbs.
4. This will be a long commitment, so if you don't like my style or you feel we're not compatible, don't feel pressured to stay. Feel free to say you don't want to anymore. I'm a frank person and would prefer that you be frank with me. If I feel we're not pulling the same weight, I will also let you know.
- I was working with this one individual who only liked to complain. I'd provide with many answers and there is only so much I can help online. I gave her 3 months of my time and she was still only complaining/making excuses at the end. She actually gained 10lbs. This relationship was not beneficial to me, not even once. So please understand where I'm coming from and I hope I don't sound rude.
5. I'm not just looking for one person, but I will have a cut-off point because it can get confusing with many people. If I see a lot of people interested, I can maybe create a group (unsure about this for now)

Feel free to message below with your details and PM me if you're interested. If I'm not compatible with you, I hope you find someone in the messages below who is!

Let us make 2016 the year we throw away our size 8/10 pants and finally be who we're meant to be!
