Looking for motivation/friends!

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?
