Hello Everyone,

My name is Elizabeth. I joined myfitnesspal some time ago, and I haven't made much progress on my weight loss achievements ladder, but I want to continue (not "start" again) with a new attitude and the help of my community friends. The journey is not always fun and convincing--there are uphills and plateaus, and I would love to share tips and inspiration to help get through it all and each my goal.
I am twenty-three years old and I weigh 137.5 on average. I know some of you might think this is perfectly normal, however, I was a former lightweight boxer, and I have experienced life without the extra ten or so pounds and I feel so much better as a lighter-weighed person. I also don't have money to buy a new wardrobe, and not fitting into anything simply due to a handful of pounds is quite depressing. So, I look to you, all of you, who are open to tips and inspiration that works.

:drinker: Cheers,
Elizabeth

    I'm in the same boat as you! 26 years old and carrying a little extra weight that I'm definitely not used to, especially considering I'm only 5'1. Average I'm usually around 125, but with a desk job, I've watched the weight slowly creep up. Looking to kick back into gear and get back to where I was; I'm always looking for motivation and somebody to hold me accountable (I usually struggle with the exercise thanks to working so many hour). Good luck with your goal, feel free to friend me. :-)
