New here...170 pounds to lose!

Just wanted to introduce myself in hopes of finding a few friends for encouragement. My name is Amber. I'm 27 from central Ohio and I have 170 pounds to lose. I'm a stay at home mom of 2 (5yrs & 3yrs old). I've been wanting to lose weight for as long as I can remember but I could never stick to it. Last year I walked a 5k for charity and lost 15 pounds during the summer but have gained it back. I think having like minded friends would really make a difference this time. I can't seem to do it alone!

Amber you can do this! You didn't gain it overnight so it may take a while to lose it, but you can do it! I have a lot to lose also, at least another 80-100 pounds. Add me as a friend if you want.0
