in Introduce Yourself
Hello,
I'm Amanda. I'm a teacher, an office assistant, a promo model, and a full-time grad student. I've packed on 20 pounds over the past three years from a combination of bad eating and lack of exercise (its mostly been unhealthy eating, though). I would love the support of women who are in a similar situation. It doesn't matter how much you have to lose... I just need the motivation of having people around me who are working towards the same thing.

    Hello,
    I'm 22 and in a very similar position where an unhealthy lifestyle at university has meant I've put on over 20lbs pushing me over the overweight mark. I'm happy to help to work towards our goals with you.

    22 here! I'm currently at a university also, studying to become a teacher. This last semester I put on at least 10 pounds, and my goal is to be down 20 by the end of this school year. We can do it ladies!! :)

    Hi! I'm a 24 year old graduate student. I packed on a bunch of weight my first year of grad school last year because of the long hours and commuting and I'm trying to get it off and keep it off now. I'd love to be part of this motivation crew!

    Hello , I am 26yrs old I am a phlebotomist from Louisiana . We have such GREAT FOOD as you all can imagine so my weight has been up and down for years . It wasnt unitl recently I totally let myself go and had no idea until i saw a pic that a friend had taken . Even after seeing it I had no MOTIVATION . I broke up with my Bf back in October and with an all girls spring break trip set for this past April the motivation was on Level ten . So I went from 275lbs to 250lbs , and the MOTIVATION has DISAPPEARED!! I know it is POSSIBLE FOR US ALL . WE JUST NEED THE SUPPORT AND MOTIVATION FROM EACH OTHER ..

    26 year old nurse. I graduated last year, but between full time school with clinical rotations and working a full time and a per diem job, I basically lived off of fast food. I gained 80 pounds over 3 years :( I'm down 60 of that now and am looking to lose another 20-30 and tone up now that I have free time to cook and exercise. Feel free to add me :) I'd love the support!
