25 year old looking for friends. Let's have some laughs!
 

Hi everyone! I'm looking to make some friends that I can email back and forth, give each other support, and a lot of laughs. Even talking about things that you love helps a lot. I'm 25 years old and engaged. My fiance and I live in a two bedroom apartment with our 2 kittens.

I currently weigh 286 lbs. (It may have dropped a smidgen) and I'm 5'9. I've been very unhappy with my weight for years now, but I never had the motivation to do anything about it. I would go on and on, in my mind, about how I'm fine with my lifestyle, I'm not THAT overweight, I was probably meant to be heavy, etc. But, then about 2 months ago, I started thinking about how I needed to start eating healthier, and exercising. Well, all that thinking finally motivated me to do something about and I started on January 9th!

I don't plan on going on a strict diet of rabbit food, or following a meal plan because I just won't stick with it. I don't want to have to drink shakes twice a day for the rest of my life. So, I'm cutting calories, eating a lot of fruits and veggies, shrinking my portions, cutting out sweets and munchy foods, and soda. I used to drink like 6 sodas EVERY DAY! So, now I will just have ONE diet soda sometimes as a treat. I forgot how good they really taste!

I'm a horror movie buff. I LOVE photography...I go out and photograph every chance that I get. I have a website that I belong to where I have a gallery of all my artsy photographs. Cemetaries are my muse. I know it sounds morbid, but the OLD cemetaries are just so beautiful. I love all kinds of music and I also write, draw, and sing. Man, I feel like I'm writing a personals ad! :lol:

So, let's support each other and have some fun and laughs while we're doing it!! ;)

Welcome cemetarysiren! :wave:

I too am a horror movie buff and I also enjoy sci-fi :D

Come over and visit the Alternachicks forum - lots of interesting chicks over there from all walks of life that you may have something in common with. Also the chicks on that forum are on various eating plans including doing there own thing so we run the gamut on weight loss strategies.

Hey cemetarysiren. I'm also 25. I'm a designer and since I graduated college a little over a year and a half ago and got a "real job", I've gained about 20lbs. I just joined weight watchers. I'm not engaged, but I live with my boyfriend and our three dogs in his 4 bedroom house. I love photography, too, and I also watch horror movies whenever I get a chance. I just registered today, so I don't know how this works, but let's email back and forth or chat or whatever we do on this forum.

Sounds good! :)
