I'm new and looking for friends

Hi there,
I am relatively new to MFP (only started last friday) and interested in finding friends. A little about me: I am 25 and happily married to my high school sweetheart. I have a degree in education (though lack a job b/c of the economy). I have a love-hate relationship with working out and eating right. I've managed to adjust my taste buds over the last few years and many foods I used to crave are much to sweet now. Honestly, I just want to connect with people who are like minded and some that aren't (because various opinions are always welcome and interesting). I enjoy reading and traveling. Change is hard for me so encouragement is a plus haha. If you are in my area and want to work out together, lemme know. I attend a local gym.
Have a great day!
