Sting like a bee

Hey everyone feel free to add me if you would like, im new to fitness pal! I am 22 years old and trying to get back my motivation and get my *kitten* moving again to lose weight. In highschool I played field hockey and found that I was in the best shape of my life and it didnt feel like working out because I had FUN. After highschool i joined a local gym after noticing that I was gaining some weight, this didnt help me. Last week I sat down and thought about what I could do to help myself, join a community field hockey league? This didn't work with my current work schedule, so then I did some research and found Kickboxing. Awesome, a sport that works with my schedule and it kicks my *kitten*, which is what I need! I took my first class a couple of days ago, holyyyyy hell it was insane. It was an hour long but it feel like 3 hours and it was definitely the hardest workout ive ever had and it was actually a lot of fun. I was unbelievably sore for the next couple days and muscles were hurting that I didnt even know I could work out. This is exactly what I need, to be pushed above and beyond my limits. I need to feel pain; to feel sweaty and tired and to feel like im actually gaining something besides weight.

    I started my journey to a new lifestyle in January 2012. I lost 40lbs but i want to double that this year and shed 80. So far this year I've played around with the last 10lbs so although i technically have lost weight in the last 2 months, I'm still only 40lbs down lol anyway, i discovered this sight a few days ago and am really excited about it! I'd love to join your circle of friends and help support you in your journey to health and wellness!
