My first HELLO, and I'm looking for some constants.

Hey everyone,
I am on day 24 of my weight loss battle, and I think I'm doing well. For the first time in my life I am abandoning my idea of "diets," and just working hard to keep my calorie intake under control. I'm also going to the gym pretty religiously (6-7 days a week, 35-45 minutes of interval training on the elliptical machine each time). I''d like to add strength training to my workouts as well. I've got some pretty flabby arms, and an extra-large butt (damn genetics), but I'm working to be the small, healthy girl I know I can be.
As of now I know I look like I weigh MUCH less than I do, which is great... but here it is -
Height - 4'11", probably closer to 5'
Starting - 154.5lbs (wow...)
Current - 146.5lbs
Goal - 115lbs
I'm looking for some people here that I can count on. Some constants. If there are any college age girls out there, I'd LOVE to hear from you. (or anyone else!) If we all work as a team I know our results can be greater. We can push each other, motivate each other, and be there for each other when we have bad days.
Let's do this - who's with me?

I"m far from being a college student, though as soon as my divorce is over, my goal is to become a certified personal trainer...and take a few nutrition classes at the local college. Not sure how long that will take me to do as things are really rough right now.
Anyway, I learned a lot about myself 4 years ago when I started my Journey toward health. I hate the term diet, as diets tend to fail. for me, it's more about creating a healthy lifestyle and getting the right balance of nutrition. I don't believe in low/no carb, high protein, etc... I believe that our body's need a bit of everything in the healthiest form out there. Meaning, lean healthy protein, healthy carbs found in fruits, veggies, and whole grains along with the correct balance of everything else.
Good luck with your journey toward health. I would love to share our successes stories with one another and help to motivate and encourage each other.0 -

Hey, I'm a college student as well and am pretty much in the same boat as your are. I weigh 150 (mostly muscle because I'm on the rowing team at my school) but want to get to about 120-125lbs. I would like to lose fat around my stomach, butt, and thighs.
It sounds like you are doing great so far and I'd love to help you along the way. I'll add you as a friend0 -
Thanks so much for your support! It's amazing you have so much muscle, and it's definitely something I'm striving for. I read your profile and I want you to know that you are beautiful and there is NO need to hate your body. Look how much you've accomplished with your rowing team! 150lbs of muscle? Wow0

Thank you! It really means a lot0

Thanks so much to everyone! I'm definitely feeling the love. Let's get through this week together, shall we?!0
