Over a period of 2 years I lost 50 pounds as of December. I was pretty excited and didn't feel fat anymore, merely a little chubby.

However, in December I started new medication for my bi-polar disorder and since December 15th my weight has gone up by 18 pounds. This has been very hard for me to handle since I worked so hard to lose the 50.

So a couple of weeks ago I decided to step my stuff back up. Since then I'm down 4 pounds. Which doesn't seem like a lot, but it's a start. I'm running 5 times a week and within a couple of weeks, I'm going to start lifting.

I'm looking for new friends to keep in touch with and stay motivated with. Open to all shapes/sizes/males/females etc. Just want some people to talk with.

PS. If it matters, I'm a 35 year old female. I also have a very active teenage son (he'll be 14 in July).
