Hey there. I have been on MFP for 2 weeks now, so I may be a little late on this whole introducing myself thing.

My name is Riley, I am 22 years old. I am interested in wearing a bikini this summer with no shame for the first time in my life. I want to be able to stand up and walk to get a drink without caring who sees me- no urge to grab a towel and cover up- no fear of taking my sun dress off :) I am pretty much really excited. I feel it happening, like things are different this time. I have never had a tool like MFP in my life and I absolutely love it. I am addicted and have been logging religiously since I started. I haven't lost 'weight' since I started 2 weeks ago but I have lost an inch n 1/2, inches are definitely what I am going for :)

Anywhooooo, I love the community here - I love the fact that we have a collection of real people who all have a common goal of bettering their health and lifestyle! Everyone is so uplifting and encouraging, I try to be that for others as well!

I am really interested in gaining some friends, mainly women. :) add me if you wish.

    Hi Riley, I am HIllary. I am 25 and in the same boat you are. I started logging about a month ago and really like the tool. I am trying to keep myself motivated and thought having someone to share in the journey with would definitely help keep me on track. I am trying to become a healthier person. My goal is to look as good as I feel. This is a bit of an arbitrary goal, but what you know when you get pictures back and you think, "that cant' be what I look like all the time" I am trying to eliminate that feeling. I have lost about 4 lbs, but continually find myself in rich eating environments (family parties, friends coming to visit, celebrations in general) and am struggling with moderation. I have also joined the gym and started some fitness classes which have been surprisingly fun.

    Overall goal: Feel and look great for this summer.

    A little about myself: I am a substitute teacher trying to become a full time classroom teacher, I love bicycling, hiking, camping, traveling, and swimming.

    Hillary
