Time to Make Some Friends :D

Started using this about 2 weeks ago, and just started visiting the forum. I have no friends on here and just wanted to see if anyone wanted to be weight loss buddies? It's always inspiring seeing other people's success, reminds me that great healthy body is not that far away.
Been struggling with my weight and self image for a long loooong time, tried diets and exercising many times and always failed, never had proper motivation. Out of sudden I decided to completely change my life, I have never been so determined about anything in my life as I am now, I am tackling 3 of my opponents to happiness: alcohol abuse, poor diet, and 0 exercise.
I am trying to lose 100lbs in next year hopefully less, want to lose the first 80lbs hopefully in next 7-8 months or less. Not long ago I realized I was totally abusing alcohol (I drank about 8-13 beers each day :drinker: ), only because I love the taste of beer so much.
I wanted to lose weight and my alcohol problem interfered with it, so I quit 2 weeks ago, started my diet 11 days ago and started exercising daily 6 days ago, I lost 10-11 lbs so far. I consume 1200 cals/day and exercise between 30-60 min each day. I switch up my workout with turbo jam series, I do the Turbo Sculpt on day, than Turbo Jam Cardio the next, on other days I do the 20 min Turbo Jam mixed with Billy Blanks Ab Boot Camp or Turbo Jam Ab videos, I do something different everyday, on top of that I do about 30 minutes of walking to and from work daily; going to keep pushing myself to do even more, but everything in good time of course.
Wanna feel strong, healthy, confident and beautiful, who is with me?
Friend me and let's work this weight off together.
