Hello,

After a 5 month relapse, I'm back again to try this because I know it works.

I just went to Trader Joes to buy healthy food for my fridge and pantry, and I'm very excited to get this weight-loss started. :)

It's not just weight-loss that I'm aiming for, though, it's pretty much an image overhaul. I'm starting to treat myself to manicures and pedicures and I'm growing my hair out. When the weight piled on I stopped caring how I looked, and I want to change that and put more pride into how I come across.

Just curious, is there anyone here from Chicago? I live in the Rogers Park area of Chicago, and would love to meet up with other people with similar goals! Maybe we can go walking/jogging along the lake.

XOXO,

Vanessa

    Hi Vanessa! My name is Linda and I'm new to MyFitnessPal. I don't live in Chicago anymore but I used to and I go back often. Maybe we can swap stories about how things are changing. Add me if you like.

    I am currently living in Oak Park, right outside of Chicago. But I'm often downtown because I am a full time student :)
