It's been a long, hard road and I could use some support

Hi everyone. My name is Laura and I am a 5'2", 160lbs, 24 year old woman who is looking to lose about 30lbs. I'll give you a bit of an idea where I'm coming from. I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder when I was 14. From that point onward I have been on a variety of medications and put into a variety of situations that made it difficult to keep my weight down, and it certainly wasn't the most important thing on my mind. In high school I was an unhealthy and underweight 110lbs max., and about 5 years ago I put on almost 90lbs. Up until 1.5 years ago I was almost 200lbs and I was not healthy at all. Over the last while I've really pushed myself to portion my food more carefully, eat a wider variety of foods to get away from junk food, I've stopped drinking pop unless it's a special occasion and I don't drink alcohol more than a drink once or twice a month. With all of this effort, I've already lost between 30 and 40lbs, so I'm halfway to my goal weight of 130lbs. I happened upon the myfitnesspal app in the android market and thought that I would give it a look and so far I like what I see. I'm hoping to maybe get some diet and exercise buddies, and maybe just some friends too.

Now for the rest of me. I live in London, Ontario with my boyfriend of 2 years (we've been best friends for 10). We have a beautiful cat named Bella, we adopted her a couple of weeks ago. I love playing video games and listening to records for hours on end. I love to cook (which has helped me to kick most of my fast food habits) and I love a good cup of tea or coffee on a cold day. I like to take walks when the weather is nice, and I'd like to say that I go to the gym a few times a week, but I'd be lying. I have a membership, I just lack motivation. I guess if you want to know more about me, feel free to ask.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to talking!
