Looking for a motivation buddy around the same age :)

Hey. I'm a 23 year old university student/ artist in Newfoundland. I'm having a real hard time being strict with this and I've been told I should get some "motivators" through here. Anyone around my age want to buddy up? I'm looking to go from 207-150lbs, and I really want to be close to the halfway mark by the end of April for my graduation. I know that the way I'm going now I will only lose like five pounds. Which is nothing to complain about, but I think I can do better.

Also, I just ordered a FitBit thinger. That should be cool, right?

:)

    Thanks :)

    I tried this years ago but I didn't get very far at all. Just picked it up after the new year (cliche, i know haha)
    We got this!

    I'm also an RA here on campus, so all I'm around are 18 year old skinny minnies that eat everything and apparently the freshman 15 doesn't apply to hahaha. Very unencouraging.

    I feel the same way. when I get to 50 I will decide if I want to push further. Right now I'm just really uncomfortable, and I miss doing things I used to be able to.

    I think I added you like 6 times on accident lol not sure what I was doing with the add button so If you receive multiple messages, I'm very sorry haha Exactly, it's just a sense of happiness that comes when you feel comfortable you know?

    Thank you:)

    Yeah I'm VERY excited to get it in the mail. It's about time I invested in something like this. I figure instead of paying 50$ a month for a gym membership I never use, why not buy this lil guy and "take the gym with me", or at least that's how I'm trying to justify it hahaha.

    Yay!
    I'm so happy to meet people with similar goals.
    I am also very jealous of your weight loss. Hopefully you can teach me a thing or two! haha
