Hey there! I'm pretty new to this website but I've found it extremely helpful so far. I started going to the gym a year and a half ago with a friend, but then she moved away, and I went very inconsistently after she left. I'm trying to get back on the horse and fix what I did to myself/my body while I was in college. I lost around 18 pounds since I started, but that took me almost a year. I'd love some friends to help keep me motivated. I log in several times a day to track my progress and see how my friends are doing.

Also, my best friend is getting married in October and I'm her maid of honor... I just got the dress and I'd LOVE to have to get it taken in before the wedding! I haven't seen her in over a year, so I'd love for her to be totally stunned by how much weight I've lost and how great I look, lol. I tell her that all the time and she just says that she can't wait, too.

Anyways. Please add me! It really does appear to be true that it's easier to do this with friends! :-)

    I am trying to lose approx. 25 pounds. Before I got married in 2008 I was at my current goal weight of 145. In 2009 I started gaining the weight back quickly due to stress. Then I had a baby in Feb. 2010 and then my marriage went in the toilet April 2010. And now I am at my highest weight ever in life. I hate the way I look and even uncomfortable to be around people. I want to look in the mirror and love myself and right now I can't do that.
