in Introduce Yourself
I've struggled with my weight for about 7 years now. The stress that came with college didn't help my body either. The "freshmen fifteen" was an understatement, it turned out to be more like "freshmen forty-five." I've reached a point where I no longer want to hate my body but embrace it. I would love my body even more if I was healthy and strong. I'm here to get some support and motivation while giving it back where I can. I hope to reach my weight loss goal before a nerve racking trip to Morocco next summer to meet my future in-laws. I'm nervous enough to meet them and it will go better without the added pressure from my weight.

Here is to making goals and reaching them with motivation!

    We both suffered that "freshman 45". Feel free to add me as a friend! Seems like we might have some similar goals and could be positive motivators for each other :)

    Welcome and understand about the freshman 45....lol. I'm still trying to lose it and my college days were nearly 9 years ago. I love this site, and it's a great way to find friends and motivation!
