in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I'm in serious need of some calorie counting buddies. Am I the only one who gets excited about starting something new, but soon starts to lack motivation? I have a feeling I'm not alone. I need some people to keep me motivated and I will do the same for you. ;)

I'm a full-time teacher and mother of three busy children. For far too long I've been neglecting the simple steps to healthy living: counting calories, portion control and exercise.

Now, I'm turning over a new leaf (again!) LOL

    Hahaha I understand trying to start over and over again! I think I'm in the same boat-- let's be motivation buddies!

    My name is Vy. I'm a cartoonist-blogger at http://ithinkincomics.wordpress.com/ and a full-time college student. I'm trying to lost the "freshman fifteen" that I gained my first semester and would really just like to feel fit and healthy. Let's do this! :smile:

    I know exactly what you mean! I can't seem to stay excited when there aren't people to be excited with. Let's keep each other motivated!
