in Introduce Yourself
Hi Everyone,

I'm pretty much a newbie here (only been on for a week) and looking for friends who can help me through this new adventure. I love comparing stories and sharing motivation, so if you're interested feel free to add me as a friend.

PS. I have seen some incredible transformations on this site - such an inspiration!! I love reading the stories that go along with the pics. You guys/gals ROCK!!! :0)

    I know, the tips are great!! It's like a one stop shop here for information!! But more importantly, I find that this site generally has great people who are willling and wanting to help others in their success - it's great to see.

    Too bad I didn't know about this site sooner, I only have 21 weeks left to vacay and need to look fantastic in that bathing suit!! :0)
    What's personally motivating everyone eles?
