Hey there!
I'm Sarah, a 35 year old married mom of 4 boys.
Last summer my family moved to The Dalles, Oregon and since then I've been packing on the pounds. I love it here but I'm lonely and have been eating my time away. I am self employed so that doesn't help the social side of things very much.
I'm on day 5 of my weight loss journey. I started at 194 pounds and I haven't weighed in yet. I think I am going to make Mondays my weigh in day. I'd like to lose about 30 pounds, maybe 25.
So, I guess that's all for now. Wish me motivation and self control. Breads and pastries are my best friends these days.

Going to a gym with group exercises might help a ton! Its a good way to socialize to others if you want to, and you ll be working out. There are also cross-fit gyms with partnered workouts as well.1
