in Introduce Yourself
Hello, everyone! Weight has been an issue I've had to deal with basically since the age of 10. I don't remember what it was like to be "skinny." I've battled back and forth with it, never getting full control of it tho, and always ended up quitting when I was so close to crossing "that bridge" into fat freedom. It's held me back from so many things in life, which it shouldn't, but it has. I'm an introvert to the max! :(

Anyways, enough is enough. No more starting and quitting. I'm tired of wasting my good years on this planet away worrying about my weight and being held back from my true potential in this life. I'M TAKING CONTROL!!

This is day 15 for me now. I've been going to the gym 5 days a week, watching my calories, and slowly but surely converting over to a healthy lifestyle (for good). Down about 8ish lbs so far!

Anyways, sorry for the long post :/ Cheers to a better life ahead. Add me if you need a dedicated parter/motivator in your weight loss journey, or just a friend. I promise you, there's no stopping me. Can't wait to see what awaits in the future!

    @gsmart913 -Thank you!
    @kellycasey5 - Exactly :) To step back, reevaluate your situation & alter your perception on things, can really make a huge difference in life.

    Weight loss is hard I have started and stopped so many times I can't count. This time it is a lifestyle change and weight loss is just a benefit. I have a large amount to lose so it is going to take me awhile. Feel free to add me to your friends list if you like.

    I'd love to follow anybody that is totally needing it or also helping out others. I love motivating and inspiring and I just started an Instagram account! So follow me @ Ethan.fitmenu
    I love making food come alive, it's my job in the Coast Guard to do this. I love nutrition, and the way it affects the body! I'll be posting to Instagram as much as possible. I'm currently losing fat, keeping muscle. Yes it's a struggle, but it'll be a fun journey with you alongside me!
    So what do you say? :)
