Morning everyone! This is my first day at this site, and I'm really glad to have a place where I can get and give support! I used to post on another site similiar to this, but now it's membership-required, and I don't have the extra $10 a month to pay for it...(I'm a student, so money is always tight). A little about me: I'm a 23 year old Graduate student at a small school in Texas. I just received my BA in English, and am planning on getting my MA in English as well, but I really want to go into Academic Affairs or Student Services. I currently work in a mid-level position for the Housing department at my University, and I love my job. I have wonderful friends, and a wonderful family, all of which should motivate me to lose weight, but they all love me so unconditionally that sometimes it makes it easy for me to stay fat. I currently weigh 190, after losing about 20 pounds in September/Oct...I've kinda been at this plateau since, much because I have lost the motivation to lose the weight. I really need a group like this to be accountable to, because I'm obviously not holding myself too accountable. I tell myself I'm satrting tomorrow, and then tomorrow, and then tomorrow...well, today I'm starting TODAY! I'm taking my finding this site as a sign that today is the day...no more excuses...
I'm looking forward to hearing what everyone has to share! I hope everyone has a great day!!
