I'm trying this website out because a friend is on it. I've done weightwatchers before and found the group meetings great but I just can't afford that option right now.

So I'm hitting the gym 3-5 times a week (it's a 1 mile walk each way and I try to spend at least 60 mins exercising while there) and trying to walk around a lot (it's summer! yay!) but I could use some motivation and fresh ideas! And if course, some friends!

    I agree with the tape measure idea. You'll see the weight loss and your gym efforts in your measurements before the scale (at least I always do).
