Lose the Freshman 15: Happy birthday to my beautiful, inspiring BFF!

Nothing in this world can compare to a girls best friend. My best friend is named Georgean Marie Costello and today happens to be her 21st birthday! We will be taking Champaign by storm and celebrating until sunrise tomorrow.

Let me tell you a few things about this girl. She’s energetic, gorgeous, hilarious (like way more hilarious than Chelesa Handler) and the most supportive person I know. She’s always telling me that I can do whatever I put my mind to and I’m so lucky to have someone like her in my life!

She’s been there for me through everything and has been so supportive in my attempt to lose weight.  And she’s been my inspiration! Georgean recently lost 16 pounds (and counting) by making many healthy changes to her life!!! I’m so proud of her! And seeing her success first hand has given me some of the confidence and inspiration I need to make those same changes.

So congratulations Georgean on your success in being healthy. I wish you the happiest of birthdays and much more health and happiness for many years to come.

 

Celebrating with my besties,

Samantha
