Hello I have been lurking during my latest and hopefully last weight loss journey I was inspired to join by your fantastic community and hope it will keep the fire under me to lose the 100+ pounds I need to lose.

I have been overweight since I was in my early teens as have my sisters . They were able to take it off successfully unfortunately to date I have not. Since March I decided no more diets I was going to exercise and eat right. I have a fantastic friend who constantly motivates me and educates me about nutrition. She helped me change my thoughts toward food and adjust my tastes slowly to the point where I love fresh fruits and vegetables.

At this point I am 28 pounds down but still soooo much more to go .

I know exactly what you mean ! The amount of things I know about proper diet and nutrition from years of struggling to lose the weight is ridiculous. It's putting it all into practice.

This week it's been hard to get my cardio in .It was a long weekend due to Canada day and both jobs I work at wanted me to work every day. As a result I am exhausted. I am hoping because one job is waitressing ,that I managed to get a few calories burned.

I also just bought a total gym and my goodness am I sore

Adding you now I hope we both realize our goals!!!!!!!
