Hey guys mind if I join in on this? I have really been looking all over the place for a workout buddy of some sort, a motivator, or someone to be able to talk to while I work out. This has been since last summer of course, which I ended up buying a nike+ thing to track my exercise progress, however I never found anyone, so I guess I have just been using that as my excuse.. I will most likely be taking my dog with me on walks too if that makes any difference (she is almost 20 lbs and is a chihuahua, so I figured it'd be good for both of us...this is from my sister taking care of her for 6 years feeding her anything). I do drink sodas almost on a regular basis and when I cut them out of my diet for 8 months I had lost a little over 15 lbs from just that alone, just to end up drinking it all again because of one little slip up.

Just seeing this thread with people's stories makes me feel like this can be a good thing, and of course a new year's resolution for just about everyone I know is to lose weight.

Anyways here is my info:
Age: 24
Height: 5' 5''
Current weight: 210lbs
Goal Weight: 160lbs range

I was only 105lbs in 2006 when I graduated high school. Since them I have been working several full time jobs, getting my college degree/attending college full time, etc. Maybe on here I will be more motivated to try to lose the weight I keep putting off losing. I really want to cosplay again, but I am unhappy with my body, so I just eat/drink carelessly.

Pic of me >.< The one I took recent of me I am wearing black pants and blouse for work, so I look much better lol
Viewer beware


And high school:

I know I am deff. not getting back down to that, but I'd kill for it again lol
2010 I was still decently small:

I can eat 1,471 calories per day currently using this app
my e-mail I signed up with is: laurenjustice1988@gmail.com
