Looking for motivating friends!

Hi, Lyndsey and I'm relatively new to MFP. I joined a long while ago and then forgot about it, but started again and I've logged on for over 2 weeks now. I have a very good friend who uses this consistently and she's down over 60lbs and she's very motivating to me as we were college friends always battling weight together. I'm so proud of her to be doing so awesome! I was a member of weight watchers for 4.5 months in 2011 and lost 25lbs. Then put a couple back on (less than 10) and maintained that for a year before joining here. I'm down a total of 30lbs from my heaviest right now a year and a half ago. I have about 50 more to go to my desired weight/shape.

The difference now is that I've really changed my lifestyle since Weight Watchers. WW worked but I was eating crap for my points. And I wasn't exercising. It's since been confirmed I have a higher chance of blood clots, a hereditary issue, and there is no medication for it. The best way to prevent a clot is losing weight and staying active. I also had a major shift in healthy eating and started cutting out most packaged foods, I make most everything fresh, shop the perimeter of the grocery store and I eat much cleaner. I started yoga once a week and I've always been a periodic jogger.

Now I do yoga twice a week and I'm jogging 2-3x a week working towards my first 5k this September. I can jog the 5k, just working on speed now.

I'm getting ready to hit my 200lb goal (4.5lbs away) and I'm very excited as I haven't seen that number since I was a freshman in college many years ago (and 2 kids prior). I'm itching for a new outfit/summer dress and it seems like a perfect incentive for myself. Anyone seen any cute ones lately?

I'd love to find some more friends to motivate and keep me motivated, this website has been awesome so far for me. I can see me going strong with the support on here! 50lbs is nothing right now that I'm already down 30? So add me as a friend if you want and lets motivate each other!
