Hello everyone,

I have used this site before and lost about 15 pounds but then I let life take over again. I am back with a goal of about 20 pounds. I am a 24 year old veterinary technician and the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. I live on my own which I am hoping will make this time a little easier compared to last time when I was still at home. The biggest obstacle I have right now is I attend the Michigan Renaissance Festival every weekend and that is never a diet friendly zone. As for exercise I have cardio kickboxing classes anywhere from three to five days a week starting this week. I am looking forward to this, I love the way I feel when I am taking care of myself and that is the reason I am doing this. Last time I was losing weight to please someone this time it is a lifestyle change for myself. If you want to be support friends let me know!

  • Hello there! I too used this site in the past but let life take over.. Only before, I had obsessively bad eating habits (restricting, purging) and now I truly do want to get healthy. I never had support friends before so now I'm thinking that's something that would help keep me positive. Please feel free to message/add me. Have a good one and goodluck (:

    Welcome back. I too had bad habits that I let take over the last time I did an extreme diet including binging\purging. This time it is a plan to eat healthy and do good for my body not ruin it! Best of luck to you.
