Hello, I am new to this weight loss thing. I gained a few pounds after graduating college last year (I believe some prescription medication may have had something to do with it) and can no longer deny that I am technically overweight. I don't have TOO much to lose - 20 lbs - but I've never done this before and need friends to encourage me! I want this to be the new beginning to a more healthy lifestyle.

Also, I am not a runner and never will be. I don't like running and it destroys my shins. So any exercise tips that DON'T involve running are welcome. :) I want to know that I'm not alone in the hating running thing.

So... be my friend?

    Hello from SE Michigan and welcome! I am a running hater too. Elliptical and cycling are my passions. I am counting the days until the spring so I can get back on my bike. Please feel free to add me as a friend. :)
