Newbie - NEED FRIENDS

Options
Hey Guys,

Just signed up last week and am being VERY GOOD so far. Wouldn't mind having some friends on here though so feel free to add me!

Me: 29 yr old Canadian red head who works at a bank and runs a dog sitting business. I have a Great Dane named Wyatt.

I've been counting calories for a week now and doing pretty good. Also started excercising a pretty intense work out passed on to me by a fit friend. Going to Hawaii in a week and wanted to trim down 10 lbs by then (4 lbs lost) and then going to try for a total of 40 lbs by May/June. Doing this for myself.

And to be brave - I'm 5'4" and started at 170.6 lbs. I carry my weight well and mostly in my torso/thighs but I don't want to be a size 14 anymore!

Anything else... just ask!

Amanda

    I have been trying to take this weight off and become more healthy and active for 13 years.....it is time.

    Thanks,
