in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone my name is Vanessa I am from Long Island NY. I have been participating in a weight loss challenge since Jan 5 2013. I have since lost 26 lbs! This is my first attempt at dieting. I have to admit for me this is so much more than a diet it's a life style change. I am looking to meet new people world wide who are struggling on a daily basis and maybe just support one another?!
As the Warner weather approaches I would love to get some sort of fitness activities going with a group of people. Wether it be hiking or just a weekly walk. I strongly feel you can't do it alone.

    Hey, I'm from Long Island and was just thinking about reaching out for some Long Island friends. I have none, but it would be great to have some local friends as well.

    Congratulations on the weight loss, by the way! Very nice job!

    Around 11 months.

    Regular exercise (4-6 days a week, 25-40 minutes each), lots of protein (fish, chicken). 1750-2100 calories.
