Hi everyone!

I joined up a couple days ago and I'm really excited to take on this journey. Right now, I'm 5'7", sitting at 175lbs. My primary goal is to lose 20lbs by June and another 25lbs by the end of the year. I know that this is a pretty tall order but I'm well on my way. I signed up for a really great gym this week, saw a personal trainer and am planning on signing up for some classes this week. I have never been this motivated to lose the weight and keep it off and I know that this is a LIFE LONG change. A few years ago, I quit smoking and that may have been the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life. I can't help but think that if I can do that, I can do ANYTHING. I'm looking for a few motivated health enthusiasts to help keep each other going and share successes! Please add me if you fit the bill

I hope I can make it!
