Hi, I'm 29 years old and at my heaviest of 296lbs (according to wii fit u) I could really use some motivation and friends to help me get on with my new life journey. My goal weight is 145lbs. I want to lose weight for myself and for my family. I have 4 kids ages 12,10,7,2. I would like to live longer and healthier for them! I'm about 2 weeks into my weight loss journey. I started out doing some wii fit stuff but it was to hard on my knees so I went back to my eliptical I bought last year. Tried last year and just gave up because of no motivation. I'm NOT giving up this time! So please add me as a friend if you would like I would love to have others to talk to about this
Thank you for taking the time to read my story

Hi! My name is Kim and my weight loss journey began two years ago. I was at my heaviest (225) and things were not good. I couldn't keep up with my kids, I was tired all the time, and my doctor told me that my cholesterol was on the rise! I decided something needed to change. I started walking, and eventually doing some weight training. I am down over 75 pounds! I feel so much better, and I love supporting and encouraging people to do the same. I would be happy to be an accountability partner with you. I still have some weight to lose, so we can work at it together! Getting your nutrition under control is a big key to losing weight. I can share what has worked for me if you are interested. If you work hard, I know you can reach your goal! So what do ya say? Are you in?0
