Tired of giving up! I'm determined to make a change.

Hey, my name's Amanda, and I'm new here. I used the My Fitness Pal app briefly a few years back but I never knew there was a community to go along with it, that's pretty sweet!

A little about me.. I'm 21 years old, I live in Michigan and share an apartment with my boyfriend, I work at a restaurant and really like to sit around, eat pizza and play video games or watch Netflix. But after many years of saying that I want to lose weight and be healthier, I am really trying to finally fully commit. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for a good majority of my life, and it has contributed to an unhealthy lifestyle that I am tired of having. I want to be healthier and more active not just to look more attractive, but to have a healthier body and mind. I am tired of being the person who sits around and lets her problems own her; I want to be a fighter!

My hope is that being a member of a community that might be able to relate to my journey might help keep me going on the tough days. I know I could definitely use the support sometimes.

Thanks for checking out my introduction and I hope to get to know some of you soon!
