in Introduce Yourself
Hey all :) My name is Erica, I am a 20 year old college student, and I am currently on a journey to lose about 225 pounds. I started trying to lose weight almost a year ago now, and so far I have lost about 75 pounds. I've mainly been focusing on eating better and exercising, though the exercising has been a slow struggle because I also have severe asthma. After being told by doctors that it was too risky for me to exercise I finally decided that I wasn't going to live as an obese asthmatic for the rest of my life. I can't do a whole lot about the asthma thing, but I'm pretty sure I can do something about being overweight.
I've recently switched over to myfitnesspal from another site similar to it, but I liked the idea of a community here rather than just a food journal. I'm always looking to meet new people who are trying to be healthy, so I'm just looking for friends who might be willing to share advice and motivation :)
