in Introduce Yourself
Hello all!

I'm a college student and new to myfitnesspal. I'm really excited about becoming more fit! I have been dating my boyfriend for about a year and a half now, and since he likes to take me out to dinner, we have both gained a good bit of unnecessary weight. This year (and every year) I hope to take off and keep off the extra weight.

My passion is horseback riding. Though many people don't consider it a sport, it certainly burns a LOT of calories. However, I have not convinced my University to allow me to bring my horse with me, so that cuts out that method of exercise. (; Fortunately, a friend at school has introduced me to the world of CrossFit. I LOVE IT! It brings me to the point of breaking, but when I realized that I have completed the WOD and am still alive, I feel a sort of accomplishment that I have never felt with anything else.

I am truly working for a better me and hope that by becoming a part of this community I will be aided in doing so.

Good luck to everyone in your endeavors in this new year!
