New - Looking for friends! (28/f, 10lbs to lose)

byebyewinterbod

Hi there!

I'm new and looking for some friends who would like to chat/stay motivated together, but who aren't taking weightloss too seriously (ie emotional/self loathing status updates, over the top dedication to fitness above all else, etc -- I get that it's a sensitive topic for some people, but the last time I was on this website I felt more like I was here as a therapist than I was to get fit and have fun)

A bit about me...
- 28/female
- Degrees in psychology and philosophy
- Recently married
- Mother to a 3 year old boy
- Working in marketing
- Interested in art/culture/politics/ethics
- Retired dance instructor (but active dance enthusiast!)
- Hiking/backcountry camping buff
- Kind of a jerk

Current motivation: rather than going on a lavish honeymoon, we are taking our entire family to Italy this fall (parents, grand parents, siblings, and our child) using our honeymoon money, and I want to blend in with all those beautiful Italian babes!
