Hey all! I'm Sonja! I'm 28 almost 29 years old...

I have lost 51lbs so far and still need to loose about 38lbs. The first 51 lbs where in 2009-2010. Then I had a hard personal thing going on and was glad to manage my weight!

Apart from loosing I am also trying to get into shape! I run 3 times a week now and doing kung fu 2 times a week. I also skate, sail and snowboard every now and then..

But now I wish to finish what I started! I am really looking for some mutual support! I find getting into it again rather hard and I have no one in my life that believes I can manage getting those last pound off...So I am looking elsewhere for those hard moments!

I'm a gal that also like to motivate others :D We can all do this right :D!

Cheers!

    Takeaways! Yum Yum! I order them every now and then. With the long term bf. Maybe like once a month... I don;t want to cut down on everything nice.. It also learns me to deal with real life eating after my weightloss! My mondays are the days where I can eat what I want and not go above 2250 kcals (avg kcals I burn on a day by just being alive). Other days I do as healthy as possible and then once a month is takeaway night..

    You can add me! I'm in the same boat! I lost most of my 60lbs in 2009-2011. I like to say I took 2012 off after my dad passed but I used it as an excuse to eat. Now i'm using that as motivation to bet back on track and losing weight.

    I don't track my food on here but only my exercise. I'm a member of Weight Watchers.

    Added the both of you! :D

    I started out with weight watchers.. well unofficially.. A friend of mine was a member and she explained the whole thing to me and got me started.. But she moved away and we didn't keep in touch :( But the whole method is pretty cool! I count kcals now!... So this here is perfect..
