Hello All!
I just joined the site after hearing all about it from a friend! I've been trying to lose my extra weight or a while now and managed to hit 20lbs down, but then i hit the dreaded "i can take a break now" and gained back a good 6-8lbs and boy did it take FOREVER to lose those! I am 23 years old and have the best times of my life ahead of me and dont plan on being overweight and self conscious for it all :)! I graduated college a year ago and now just moved back in with my boyfriend of almost 4 years and am SO excited for everything ahead of me :)! I'm attempting to find a job now since i just moved to a different state, that part if proving horribly hard by the way! but it means I have TONS of time that I am just hanging out that I could be working out and planning meals and doing this the right way :D! So that all starts TODAY! and I cant believe it but im EXCITED! I've gained and lost weight in spurts a lot in the last 6 years but i always stopped before I got to a 'healthy' weight, i dotn want to do that anymore i want to get to GOAL and LOVE it :) or at least find what I like for ME and get there, i havent been below a certain number really at all in my life since i got to this height so I'm going to go for a few pounds under that which is right above what mfp deems 'a healthy weight' for my height and see how it goes! I'm only 5'1 or thereabouts so I'm a shorty! It also means that since im so short, BOY is it noticeable when I gain a few pounds yikes! I'm excited to connect with others who are ready to lose weight and get in shape and just be happy and healthy and accomplished :) This is going to be amazing and I can't wait to try everything!! Hope everyone's day started out fabulous, looking forward to helping others reach their goals as well!!
