Swimmer and Scuba Diver in Need of Friends

Minnikka

Hi all!! I'm trying to loose 100 pounds! (Isn't that a scary number?! It is to me!) I don't have any friends on MFP, and would love some online encouragement and fellowship.

I have a long term injury from a torn Achilles so I can't run. I do swim. A lot. I'm working on growing my professional career as a SCUBA diver and am hoping to become a PADI Course Director one day.

I wear a Jawbone UP 24, and I run an android operating system on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I love gadgets, and technology - and am so excited to finally be making a long term permanent lifestyle change!! So far 3 people in my family have had gastric bypass surgery, and I do *not* want to be one!!

So here is to fitness - and not excuses!! :-)
