Shaping up for Summer (and life)

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I've used mfp for some time, but never really dipped into the forum aspect. This time I'm serious about getting into tip-top shape! I've done p90x in the past (several years and one toddler ago..) and dipped into Insanity. I practice yoga on occasion at the moment, but I'm serious about expanding and improving my practice as well. I've struggled with weight and body image for over a decade, so going about weight loss and fitness the healthy way is a struggle for me. My highest weight was 170lbs (when I was 9mos pregnant) and my lowest weight was under 100 pounds (I've struggled with an eating disorder for years) I'm currently about 130 (5'5) which is pretty healthy. I want to lose about 10-15 pounds of fat and gain some muscle mass. I'm going to a music festival in August and it's a big motivator for getting into shape for me. I want to be able to be on the beach at the river in a bikini and not be self conscious for once. It's hot as hell in the mountains in the summer, and being covered up is not even an option haha.

ANYWAY, I'm getting off the topic. I'm 23 and the mother of a beautiful 2 year old. My goals are to lose 15 pounds and gain muscle mass. I'm starting p90x again on Monday and hope to achieve my weight goal by the end of the 90 days. Oh, I'm also vegan and try to eat largely gluten free (but yes I eat carbs and get all my calcium and iron so don't even go there!)

Hope to meet some like minded people that are encouraging and inspiring
