in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I'm Sarah, a 20 year old senior in college looking to lose about 70lbs. I've been back and forth with weight loss for what feels like my whole life. I've never been able to wear a single digit pair of jeans and that's kind of my push. I have a couple of inactive friends on MFP but I'm looking to see a stream of inspiration every time I log in. I tend to lose a lot of motivation if the scale doesn't budge one week, and I'm infamous for losing 20 pounds and then gaining it all back. I'm ready for my healthy lifestyle change and I'm looking for people to push and motivate me and people that may also need motivation. Motivating others helps to motivate myself. I've lost 8lbs since I've started almost 2 weeks ago. My ticker says 0. Not sure how to change that, I thinks it's from the first time I put my weight in for MFP about 2 and a half years ago and never did anything with it.
Anyway a little about me: I'm an art major. I am currently on a mission to read all of john greens books, I love netflix and I keep up with nearly 10 different shows, a couple of my favorites are glee, pretty little liars, and the vampire diaries. I've also watched other non "teeny bopper" shows like breaking bad and orange is the new black. I'm always up for checking out a new series. I mostly listen to pop music but sometimes I have days when I want rock, country, love songs, or rap. And I'm always down for some Michael Jackson.
I'm someone that doesn't want my life to strictly revolve around losing weight. I want to feel like I have a life while losing weight and I'm a believer in cheat meals. :)

    Feel free to add me. I log daily now and used this site before to drop weight. Weight loss is all about the small progress which makes a huge difference in the long run.
    Its funny I just recently add MJ to my cardio playlist

    Anyone can feel free to add me. I've been logging on and using this site to help me lose weight too. I'm needing 17-22 more pounds that do not want to detach from my body!! Grr. The more encouragement we can all get, the better.

    I am in the same boat. I am new to this site and want to lose weight as well. I would love to make new friends and possibly find a support system. What inspire my decision to get back on track and attempt to lose weight is a future high school reunion. I know it sound vain but I honestly would not want any of my former classmates to see me at my current weight. I also realize I am missing out of life being overweight.
