Finally introducing myself, hope to find motivated friends

Options
Hello! I am closer than ever to my ultimate goal weight/fitness and I am hoping to be able to find some more like-minded folks on here. A lot of my friends/family in person do not care about their health, so I figure MFP was the place to go to for support :)! It's hard when you're surrounded by people who do not have similar goals:/. Anyways, I am going to just go ahead and throw myself on out here:
*Bettering myself in all aspects of my life constantly is very important to me
*I love to read :D from romance, thrillers, manga, mystery, fantasy... anything!
*I have an odd love for cats (I am probably going to be that old lady that dies alone with 7 cats >_>)
*80% of my meals are vegan because I do eat the occasional dairy product. (was vegan for a year, I fell off the wagon >.<)
*I am agnostic and I have recently starting meditating/learning more about Buddhism
*I like to play pretty much any game, especially old ones like FF9 :D! Also I am a retired RS player.
*I LOVE to cook, so much to the point that I don't enjoy eating out as much because I think I could make it better haha.
*I am 21 and am going to college, sadly my major is still undecided T_T

Well that's a little about me :D!

Tell me some things about you ^_^!

Feel free to shoot a friend request.

    hi there! I'm a newbie two. From NY but living in KY. I also love cats. But I've learned I can only handle one at a time LOL.
    Love a good murder mystery and anything forensics. Also love cooking more now because of all the crap they put in fast and restaurant food now.

    Welcome MissHalez! I'm new (or at least newly back after a long time relapse) also, but determined to make some better choices this time around. Sounds like you've got some great goals, and also that you're a really interesting person.
    *I'm also an avid reader, but spend more time than I should with *brain-candy* (sci-fi and fantasy) - would appreciate a recommendation for some good non-fiction books to expand my knowledge.
    *Love all animals, but especially dogs and cats (currently have one of each).
    *Am impressed that you can stay 'mostly-vegan'. I don't have nearly enough willpower for that!
    *I'm also agnostic, but think that Buddism sounds really interesting. I like talking about religion, but it's hard to find people who can discuss it objectively without becoming emotionally invested in 'winning' the talk...
    *I'm more into RTS and TBS games - will challenge you to a round of Civ when the new Beyond Earth expansion comes out next month.
    *Don''t care much for cooking, which may be why keeping my fitness goals is so challenging.

    Hello :)! Haha yea, I only have one cat =^_^= she is more than enough for me for now! Cooking is a lot of fun, especially when you get better at it. I am from Texas (howdy doo! lol) Have you seen the show Dexter? I figure you would based off your interest in murder mystery/forensics

    Thank you :)! It has been a very long drawn out process, but hey it's better later than never:)! I will definitely add you. That's really great, I hope that I am still working out when I get older as well. It sure does sound like you have your hands full! Cooking is so relaxing :D and new recipes are always fun to try! Support is GREAT! Thank you so much :)!

    Thanks :D! Well welcome back to you! Hopefully we can both motivate each other to make the best choices possible for our own personal goals, with more support I am sure that it will fly by in no time! I will add you and message you about what all you said ^^
