in Introduce Yourself
Hi! My name is Emily. I am 23 and motivated to get in shape and lose some weight!

I've done this in the past; I lost 40 pounds about 4 years ago and managed to keep it off until recently. Starting a desk job and then falling off the gym habit killed me though, and I am back up 30 pds. BUT that will change!! :D

I definitely know that doing this is so much easier with people to support and encourage you - so I am here to meet some people ready to get in shape and support each other!

Please add me as a friend if you'd like to motivate each other... I love to swap recipes and workout ideas, but even more I love to be inspired by peoples' journeys, and I am always ready to make new friends!

    I am new to this also. I have done Pilates in the past and am going to start that up again, also running, and if I can steal my jump rope back from my sister I will be using that too! lol I have 20+ lbs to go and am really looking for this to be a lifestyle and not just a diet!

    I feel your pain with the desk job! I just went from a job where I was on my feet walking 40 hrs a week, to sitting, and worst yet, everyone has candy on their desk! We can def. keep each other motivated!!

    I know- I used to work 60 hours a week runnning around in high heels and rarely sitting... and now I sit at a computer at a place where everyone does social lunches and brings in goodies... Definitely time to ramp up the workouts!! :)
