Hello! So a little about me...

I am 33 yrs old, 5'6 and my current weight is 228 lbs, I'm about 68 lbs overweight.. I started eating healthy and working out again on Monday but I used to do that all the time before I hurt my back (wear & tear). For awhile I couldn't workout because my back hurt a lot so I was going to therapy with my chiropractor. Over the months, with some much needed strength training, I feel like my back has gotten stronger. So Monday I started working out again and so far I haven't felt any pain which is good! I still have to be careful though. Anyway, a lot of friends that I used to have on mfp are no longer active so I ended up deleting a lot of old accounts :( Now I'm looking for new friends who are positive, motivating and encouraging! You will get the same from me! Trying to lose weight is not easy, but with the right group of ppl in your life, it helps to make it just a tad bit easier. I'm not looking for anyone perfect as I'm sure we can all relate that we're trying to lose weight but I am looking for ppl who are serious about losing weight, who despite having a rough day they make themselves workout, or who love food so much but have decided enough is enough. So if you are that person, please feel free to send me a friend request! :) Can't wait to make new friends!

    Surrounding yourself with motivated individuals is the key. I myself need the same thing! With the seasons changing, especially with the holidays, it's easy to fall victim to poor eating habits as well as depriving yourself from needed physical activity. Anyone feel free to add me, I'm also eager to make some positive changes! 👍
