Hi, I'm Paulina.
Today is my first day of trying to live a healthier life in such a long time. I need friends to motivate me to keep my diet and exercise daily.

    Just remember that pain and sacrafice are temporary feelings. Success and triumph take time, but those feelings never fade. There will never be a crowd of people on the success path. Being overweight and out of shape is easy, be different and be a success story! Be a role model!

    changing your life takes a couple years - whatever you do - do NOT go for quick results. You want this to be a slow shift or you'll be setting yourself up for failure.

    Great info already. you're young and building healthy habits for the rest of your life. Giving yourself the best chance at a long, healthy life! yeah!!!!!

    Totally true on the path to success not being crowded. its only crowded at the very, very beginning. Then most drop off and go 'easy'
