Starting over and looking for friends!

Options
Hi All!

I've been a member for quite some time but fell off the band wagon! Now ready to start my healthy life!

I lost 23 lbs 2 years ago before I started my desk job, since then gained 8 back. Not bad but not where I want to be.

Current weight: 149
5'2
Size 8/10
Goal

Looking for friends to help motivate!

-Melissa

    Desk jobs...boo. I've been at one for ten years and it makes things harder. I'm jumping on the bandwagon again too and looking to give all the encouragement I can to anyone getting after it! Good luck!

    I have a "desk" like job myself. I always try and make the effort to get up and move around every couple of hours.

    Desk job here also, trialing out an electric height adjustable desk so see how it goes. All the best to you, great community here!

    Hey there @blondchick205 I've been here a while but have had my share of difficulties working at "desk" job and also with it being cold here in the Winter (in Canada) it's hard to get out and get moving. Been fired up since spring and have been getting out and at it since the end of March. Couple that with the new fitness tracker I have been going at it strong each opportunity I get away from the "desk." Feel free to add me if you are looking for support and encouragement. Good luck!
