Hello Everyone!
I'm new to this and looking for like minded people on this weight loss/healthy lifestyle journey. This is a new year, and the year I turn 40! I would love to go into my forties healthier and happier. I need to lose a total of 65 lbs to be at a healthy weight. I'm simply tired of the weight loss battle...tired of losing that is! Any advice and encouragement would be greatly appreciated as I will do the same. This is my last ditch effort before I start thinking about surgery which I don't quite qualify for...yet. I am the mother of a beautiful 16.5 month old boy and need to be healthy for him. I am looking forward to getting to know some buddies along this journey!
