Hiya,
Newbie here. My weight has gone up and down for years. In college in my senior year I made it down to a size 8. Then I left school and got into the real world and gained it back.
Years later. I joined a diet group called New You about six years back. No, not true - at my mother's INSISTENCE I joined. I called it the Fat People's group. The focus was on how to lose weight by adopting better eating habits. I lost about 40 pounds and kept it off. That is until I went through a major heartbreak over some dumb jackass man and then got a long term boyfriend. And hello pounds!
I have a family reunion coming up in August (in which my mother is attending as well) and want to get into better shape. My motivation isn't that great so I started a contest to give myself a push.
In addition to that I would like a buddy I can chat with daily that could hold me accountable - and vice versa. Nothing major - but perhaps a 15 minute check in a few times during the week. I live in Queens New York. I'd prefer local calling but long distance is ok too.
If anyone is up for it send me an email.
Thanks.

This carrot cracks me up
