Losing 100 pounds...be my friend, please? :D

(Sorry if that sounded kind of desperate/pathetic, Hehe...)

I'm 27, and Hispanic from Ancon, Panama. I have moved around a lot with my father being in the military...I let my life "go" after I graduated high school in 2004 by staying in a negative relationship. I had two children (now 3 and 4). This is a good year because I am FINALLY going to college to pursue a bachelor's in Law Enforcement Administration. Even though I am 27 and military options are limited, I still want to be in the guard or reserves while being a police officer, or be involved in the military full time active duty.

I am 247.6 right now at 5"5". If you would like to be my friend, I would love that. I need all the support and motivation I can get...I'm pretty friendly and encouraging. You can email me with any questions or advice. I just wanted to say "Hi" and see if you wanted to send me a friend request!

Here's some pictures I took today before working out..I did 30 minutes on the elliptical..I just ordered a Zumba kit a few days ago, and some other work out gear so I'm anxiously waiting for it to arrive in the mail! Thanks for reading, have a blessed day ;)

    Add me if you’d like. I’m a 29 year old mother of 3 with 100+ pounds to lose. I just joined the gym for the first time and am looking for a great support system! I also like giving support to others through their journey.

    I'm looking to lose at least 100 lbs. That would put me at 185. If I could make it that far, anything else would just be a celebration. ;)
  • I just joined 2 days ago! I don't have any friends or support yet. Feel free to add me as your support it would help us both out. Anyone else out there can add me as well to help along this journey.
