Hi all! New here, like so many. I'm 4"9 and carry 30 extra pounds on my frame. It used to be 60, but I lost about 30 pounds last year. I did it while teaching in a high stress environment and while living with three fast-food eaters, drinkers, and partiers. I figured if I could do it then, now that I am working for a non-profit and living with a health conscious roomie, it'd be a piece of cake.
Not so. I have a sedentary job now, and have trouble finding the motivation to start from scratch, fitness-wise. I used to be able to run for 45 min straight, now it's tough to walk that long. I need motivation, I need friends who understand, and I need someone to help me see that it's ok if I screw up or don't make my goal weight in X amount of time. Anyone up to add me and be a cheerleader? I am REALLY good at returning the favor!
In any case, so excited to start my journey here
