New(ish) to the Forums and looking for friends

Hi everyone,
I'm Drea 27 from Alabama, and I'm sort of new to the forums. I joined back in 2011 for a bit, and lost track of my fitness goals. But I'm back once again and hoping that I can stick with this. My goal is to lose about 40 pounds, and I'm hoping to make some friends that can keep me motivated, and I can motivate them along the way I just started the journey back today, I'm hoping the first of the month can inspire me to keep it up and give me a fresh start.
