Needing friends to keep me motivated :)

Hey everyone, I'm Samantha, and I'm a few days shy of being 22. I'm not brand new to MFP but it's my first time actually taking it seriously and am truly determined to lose weight.

Here's my story:
I moved from Wisconsin to Oklahoma City in 2009 and went from a very active and healthy 160-170lbs to about 280 in only 3 years from a very bad relationship. It ended early last year and I've been taking time for myself and trying to be myself again. I lost about 20lbs on my own, and I'm finally getting my life back on track and am taking care of myself. The last key to achieve happiness and confidence is for me to get rid of this weight that is dragging me down!! I still have the frame for a great hourglass body like I had before, and that's what I want again. To be able to catch a guy's attention again and be confident enough to actually go talk to him :P

I've been watching what I eat and working out since mid February and have lost about 13lbs. Not too shabby. I'm doing cardio as well as weights and kettlebell exercises. I'm also in the process of trying to find a softball team to join this summer. (I played for 10 years and I know it did wonders for toning my body)

I am looking for friends (male or female) to talk to about obstacles, share tips, and just generally helping each other stay motivated. I've only been filling out my daily logs for 2 days now but I'm going to try to stay 100% motivated. If this seems like something you'd be interested in, feel free to add me

Have a wonderful Thursday!
