Hi! My name is Jenn, I'm 26 and recently moved to Fort Walton Beach, FL from St. Louis, MO. I have a 6 month old daughter. I have been on the You on a Diet diet for almost 2 weeks now. I've lost about 2 1/2 inches off my waist so far. I am currently about 168, my goal is 125. It's hard being in a place where you don't know anyone. But, my boyfriend has been supporting me and eating the same foods as me, so he has been a lot of help.

However, if there is anyone out there that happens to be in my area, I would love an exercise buddy!

Also...I was checking out the goal pictures and they are so inspiring!

Hiya Jenn and You have come to the right place as you will find lots of support and motivation. I do not live in ft walton but I do live in Fl (jacksonville). Good luck and keep posting.

I have a similar story... but I'm in Texas. I have a six month old daughter. On a good day I weigh in at 166 (usually 170 though), and my goal is 125. I haven't done much to actually move towards that goal. I'm having trouble finding the inspiration.

I just wanted to say hello. I am new tooo. :-) Good luck!

My first workout buddy has four legs...he is always ready to go for a walk...excited about it, even!! Do you have a dog? A friend with a dog? I found it made me less self concious while walking. Plus my neighborhood isn't really safe for night time walks alone. When the dog isn't available music is a great distraction. Buddies are good, but sometimes they aren't available when you are. Ya gotta find something you can do without a buddy or you'll quit when the buddy quits. I'll stop rambling now and go for a walk.
