Hello MFPers, :)
I'm Laura. I've been using this site for a while, but never officially introduced myself.
I have a hard time being consistent with logging food every day. I need some like-minded, supportive, motivated friends!
I would love friends who are in a similar situation as me...so here's some background info on me!

-I'm almost 20, full time college student, considering a major in dietetics.
-I love jogging/running and would like to start training for races in the near future.
-I just recently started strength training and have begun to see some results. But I've always been a cardio girl and know very little about strength training and weight lifting...I really need some advice on creating a program.
-I'm about 10 lbs away from my goal weight, but the scale doesn't matter to me as much as how my clothes fit.
-My ultimate goal (for now) is 20% body fat. Right now I'm at 24%.

My weight loss has been SUPER slow and every day I get more and more tempted to use Hydroxycut or some "miracle pill"...which I know is a bad idea. But I feel a tad desperate right now, because I just can't seem to get these last few pounds off.
I live in California and we get warm summery weather looong before the summer months and I want to snap my body into shape in a few months.

Anyway, enough about me...
please add me if you have similar goals/interests, any advice for me, or just need another supportive friend! :)

p.s. I prefer female friends but strictly fitness-business male friends are welcome too.
