Hi everyone

My name is Jo, I'm 22 and I've just graduated from uni. I spent the last two summers working as a watersports instructor so used to be super fit - but my last year at uni was fairly stressful and meant I didn't have any time to exercise/cook and ate a lot of takeaway!

I'm now at the biggest I've ever been - about 150lbs, which is a lot for me as I am only 5"1. I'd like to get fitter and shed some weight to about 116lbs which is what I was last summer :)

Would love to make some friends for some mutual motivation.
