Hi there folks! I am looking for fitness friends! I love motivating people and am also on a fitness journey myself!
A little about me.... I found myself in October of 2016 at 205 pounds and extremely unhappy. At 5'4" thats obviously not a good weight. I had a 10k run planned for February and was so unready. I started watching a lot of videos of weight loss motivation and by the run, I had lost fifteen pounds. Now, by July, I have lost another 20. At about 175, I still need to lose about 20 more. If anyone wants me to be an encourager for them, I sure will. Or if you just want someone to be on the journey with.
Fitness is my passion. I have felt the effects of being overweight,, and the depression and isolation. I have also felt the benefits of losing it and going through the struggle to be who I want to be.

A couple rules. First, women only please....

I am here for motivation. I am not a troll, and I do not ask for pictures. 0. Zilch. Nada. I hate it when people ask for them. But I do recommend you take pictures to compare for yourself. You are going to want to see yourself losing the weight. :)

Also, I do - not - recommend diet plans. Nope. I can talk to you about the things I have tried and how I got to where I am. But you've got to decide that for yourself. See a nutritionist if you can. They are really good.

And, please no misuse of this. You will be blocked. I am not here for anything inappropriate. The responses that I choose to accept will be given my number to text. But I do not give or request any personal info such as address, state that I live in, etc. I do not wish to be stalked or creeped on please!! Sorry if I seem paranoid.


So there ya have it folks! Let the motivation begin!

    Hello, Rachel!

    I've struggled with my weight for most of my life. About a month ago, I looked in the mirror and I did not like what I saw, and so, I'm doing what I can to make this work. I've tried it before and lost interest easily, mainly due to lack of support. I've managed to lose 1.7 pounds so far in about two weeks and I'm hoping that's just the start.

    :)
