I have fallen off the wagon and I have reached a weight that I told myself I never wanted to reach and now with the motivation of my best friends....I am going to get myself moving and get these pounds off!!

My name is Lee, I am 27 years old and I live in South Jersey with my loving partner and our 2 dogs..i work full time and go to school full time and absolutely have no free time to breath so I am constantly eating at fast food places between my job and driving to school and my biggest addiction is Starbucks coffee...So I am hoping that with the help of my friend and the support from this community I can loose the weight and I can be of support to other on here!

    Hi Lee, I too am new to this site, it actually started as downloading the app onto my phone but now I am starting to dig deeper into things and get my butt on a roll! I just graduated from college and noticed I gained a few pounds over the four years, with new found time on my hands, I thought it would be good to focus on my health (something that was neglected when I was in school). Over all i just want to be healthier and feel a little better in my clothes!

    Oh yeah my name is Crystal and I'm 22 years old! I have a yorkie pup that keeps me busy he is a great big ball of energy which is just what i need!

    I hope that the friends I connect with here will keep me inspired and motivated. Hope to hear from you all! :)

    Hi from Louisiana! I lived in South Jersey for three years a while back - Ocean City, Absecon, and Vineland. :) I miss it.

    I had a big Starbucks addiction, too. The thing that helped me was knowing the calories of my drinks AND starting exercising at a nearby fitness center. I remember the first time I went early in the morning. I had kind of told myself the night before if I got up and went, I'd reward myself with Starbucks on the way home. Well, I went but then when I was finished, I was reluctant to waste all the calories I had just burned on the elliptical machine on a coffee! :)
