in Introduce Yourself
Hi, all! I'm Heather, and like the subject line says, I'm 35 years old (almost 36) and have at least 150 pounds to lose (closer to 170 if possible). I'll spare you my lengthy back story, but if anyone is interested, you can check the About Me section of my profile for a brief synopsis. I currently live with my fiance and his family in a very rural area and I have fairly intense social anxiety, so I haven't been able to make any local friends yet. Everyone in our household has very poor eating habits, as well, so I have basically NO support or encouragement at the moment. Hence this post! I would love to find some friends here at MFP with whom I can share my journey. People with a similar amount to lose would be especially nice, but any positive, supportive, motivational people are welcome to add me!

    I've lost around 30lbs so far (i keep bouncing between 32 and 27) and now I'm adding in exercise.

    This is doable. Not easy, but doable. You just have to choose differently. A lot. If you're looking for an MFP friend that logs obsessively and comments offensively, feel free to send a FR.

    My ultimate goal is to loose 70 pounds, my first one (baby steps) is to loose 20 pounds. We can do this together. :)
