Hey everyone
My name is Maria, and i'm 22 years young. This is my first day here - and my last attempt of losing those last 15-20 pounds! I've already lost around 60 pound within the last year or so, but I've just been stuck at my current weight for about 5 months.. I've lost some.. gained some again. So frustrating!
My problem really is motivation.. I have a million good reasons for losing the last pounds, but i get easily discouraged. I've got a lot of people surrounding me trying to lose weight as well, which is great. But they're all so competitive and negative about everything! Everything is turned in to a competition and it makes me not want to be apart of it, if anyone gets what i mean?
Please, feel free to add me if you can give me a friendly kick in the but, that would be greatly appreciated! And i would love to hear some of your great tips and success stories
