in Introduce Yourself
I've never put stock in using the message boards. I'm starting to think now that I would have been able to meet my goals faster if I had used them when I started attempting this. I set a goal for myself to hit 145lbs by the end of the year. I set this goal months ago and made it under extremes in an attempt to help motivate me.

So far its been alright and semi-helpful but I've come to realize I've no real support from anyone else to help me along now that things are becoming more difficult.

Currently, I am aiming to lose another 20 lbs by Dec. 31st. However, I struggle constantly with depression and anxiety and am thus medicated for it. I also refuse to give up my birth control shot every few months despite my suspicions that it, along with my daily medication, is making it more difficult to lose the weight.

Oh...and hi, my name is Alyssa. I'm 23 years old and finding myself 30 or so pounds over-weight. I live in CT. And uh...yeah. ._. Trying to get out of my current rut.

    Extra motivation is always helpful and wanted! You can't have too much. lol Frankly what I have the most problem with is sticking to my original plan to run and/or jog on my treadmill everyday. I have a physically demanding job Monday through Friday. However, its a night shift job so I usually have to sleep all day which I know is definitely not helping me.

    I have so much trouble getting up nice and early as it is, let alone to actually jump start my day by working out a bit. D:
