in Introduce Yourself
Just wanted to say hi :smile: My name is Sarah. I've been a member for awhile started off doing it solo at first so needless to say I started strong then trailed off until you guessed it I stopped logging all together and decided it was time to jump back in and start holding myself accountable again. This time I thought by being more active in the site it would help, so I figured introducing myself is a good place to start.
I work chained to a desk in Dallas but live about 30 mins north ( I 35 traffic is not my friend) I enjoy working out in the morning so in order to avoid traffic I wake up early to head in and either hit the gym or get a run in downtown not to mention the fact that if I don't get it in first thing I have no idea where my day will take me so rather get it done before things start piling up. I don't know anybody else on the site so would definitely like to make as friends to share in stories and keep myself on track. I don't really have a lot of weight to lose but need to keep active and eating right. So here I go and this time I just need to stick to it. My favorite quote lately has been "Eat for the body you want, not the one you have".

    I created this account months ago and fell of the wagon due to work and school. I really need to do something for my health. I am in sunny southern California. I have between 40-50 lbs I would like to lose. So, I just wanted to introduce myself and say Hi.

    Hi Sarah! Welcome back!

    Your story is very similar to mine....I started off logging on the site 'solo' to try and lose some weight for my wedding, but tailed off into nothing! Now, I've re-started but dived in posting on all the boards, adding people and commenting... and I must say the boost it gives is incredible!

    Like you, I have a desk job with a long commute driving everyday, so Im all about finding ways to squeeze exersize in. I'm a little bored of the gym, so trying to keep up with alternatives like running, swimming and exersize classes.

    Together, I know we can all do this!

    Sarah (from England) x
