New 20-Something

  • Hey, thought I'd start off by saying that I already feel the weight loss motivation pouring out of this forum! I think I'm going to like being a member here. :-)

    My name is Amanda and I'm from Oregon. I'm 23 years old, married and working full time as a marketing representative for a computer software company. My husband and I have two cats and two dogs, my handsome Papillon being Jack (my profile picture).

    I married a marine, with that being said, we are in two different exercise levels. I used to do dance and yoga when I was younger. I ended up putting on weight when I moved out to be with my husband. I am working to get back down to my high school weight by doing a low carb diet and a variety of work outs. I hope to try out Zumba some day, and maybe, just maybe, get into the Jillian Michaels workouts.

    Hello to you all!
  • Welcome!!!
  • Welcome to 3FC! As a former(?) dancer, I'm sure you'll build up your old athletic skills very quickly, and drop the weight!
  • Yeah, I used to dance hip hop. I danced for about six or seven years, until my early years in college. I absolutely loved it! Of course, when work and school got in the way, I stopped. Now that I have a consistent work schedule, and I'm settled down, it shouldn't be too bad to lose the weight... I just have to find the patience to lose it! I've lost a total of 8 pounds since the start of June, now I just have to stick with it.
