I started my "lifestyle change" yesterday and i'm really in need of friends to help motivate me!! I've wanted to lose weight for a while but my major kick in the butt was my boyfriend mentioning engagement a few days ago. I can't stand the thought of being chunky in my wedding or even in engagement pictures. I used to be on a competitive Brazilian Jiu Jitsu team which was great exercise but since the start of x-ray school I had to quit Jiu Jitsu and i've gained a whopping 40lbs!! I used to cut weight for competitions by running in trash bags, not drinking water for days, and taking water pills which was TERRIBLY unhealthy! I want to do this the right way this time but I definitely need POSITIVE influences to help keep me going on tough days!! Thanks!
