I am 21, a college graduate, and have decided to change my way of life. I have gained around 20 lbs in the past year and i'm not sure how. Probably eating bad foods and not being active (obviously). My mom was recently diagnosed with lung disease and my SO has very high blood pressure. Sadly, neither my mother nor my boyfriend are willing to work out, eat better, or try to get healthy. It was a wake up call for me. I was on the path to destruction. So i've decided to lose this weight, get healthy and active, and start feeling good about myself.

I'd love to meet some encouragement buddies along the way. I will be posting pics of my body to show the progress I am willing to make. Cheers to a new beginning!!

Congrats to you for taking that first step and realizing how important it is to be healthy and at least try to be. Especially in this day and age with all the fast food, pollutants and poisonous meds out there we really do need to step up our game and do the best we can to maintain a healthier lifestyle! I am sorry to hear however that your mom and boyfriend cannot get on board with ya, but maybe somewhere down the road if you look and act healthy they will see that and it could be a great example for them! You gotta take care of YOU first and perhaps you could sway them later with your new leaner and fit regimen. Good luck and friend me on here if ya like I'm sure we both could use the pats on the back and encouragement! My handle is MiladyMetal!!
