Finally introducing myself.

Hello everyone! I finally decided that it was time for me to introduce myself since it's been two months since I started my cardio regime and ~40 days since I've been using MFP. I'm 26 years old and I'm very close to completing my educational goals. My life radically shifted direction at the start of September. I've had to deal with an emotionally devastating relationship breakup in addition to a governmental agency recruiting me for a career I had never even dreamed of. The career option requiring that I get myself physically fit. These two things were apparently all the motivation I needed to *really* make the changes required to live a healthy life. I've stopped smoking and I try to get in an hour of cardio and at least 30 minutes of weight lifting five days a week. This has ultimately helped me lose 36 pounds thus far, but I still have a long ways to go.

Anyways, I still want to lose at least 50 more pounds and would love to find MFP friends that have similar weight loss goals or just like to throw out motivation from time to time.
