Hello, everyone!

I'm happy to be a new addition to the community! I am in the Mid-Michigan area and would LOVE to be able to have a buddy to encourage and be encouraged by.

I've always been obsessed about my weight, and I've been armed with GREAT information - it's acutally PUTTING that information into my reality that is the hitch for me.

I was studying to be a Personal/Group Fitness Instructor - but..um...I can't do it at my current weight. Nobody will take me seriously! Heck, *I* don't take me seriously!

I LOVE to excersize, and I'm fairly competetive. I have about 30 pounds to lose (Oh, how it hurts to admit that). I'd love a buddy to help who can help me, too.

Thanks!

Melissa

Hey Melissa!
I love your screen name!!! Where did you come up with it??
I too am armed with a tonne of knowledge and feel like, because of my weight, people (and I) feel I'm talking out of my a**.
I am trying to start new habits, instead of "dieting". Excercise is the one thing I need to make a habit of. I am following Weight watchers...doing it online. I'm going at this five pounds at a time, intead of looking at the 81 I have left to go.
I'm fairly new here too, but welcome!!! private message me anytime and we can swap ideas and give and take support.
