New and committed to MFP but need friends to motivate

SundayPajamas

Hi everyone

I've been on MFP for a week and I can already feel the difference. I've been battling with being overweight since I was 12. I've lost weight in the past but managed to gain it all back and blamed it on university. But now that I'm a graduate, I can no longer use that excuse or find anyone or anything else other than myself to blame.

I'm 29, 240 lbs, and 5"6. I can't believe I let myself get this far. For my 30th birthday, next year, I wish to run a 10k (I've ran a 5k in the past). I'm looking for some friends who can help me stay motivated and focused. I'm on a mission and don't see myself quitting this time. It would be ni d to share this journey with someone

Hoping to hear from you and good luck with your goal
