Hi! I'm 28 (29 in just a few weeks) and I NEED to lose weight and get in shape before I hit 30! I've gained a lot of weight since getting married 4.5 years ago, and am at my heaviest weight ever. I just want to be comfortable and feel good and stay healthy! I'm making a hard transition from eating every meal at a restaurant to cooking, so that's 1/2 the battle for me. I own my own business so I'm busy 24/7, but now until April is my "slow" season, so I'm excited to really hit it hard before summer and try to make a big dent in my weight loss goal! Just finished my first week and lost about 7 pounds, so I'm excited to keep going!
I would love more friends on here....especially people around my age who are also looking for some motivation---so feel free to add me as a friend!

I would add you but as you are already my friend, pointless. Lol.
(At least this post puts you at the top of the list again. Lol.)0 -
I like the enthusiam in your topic. It's all about staying motivated and getting through those not so motivated times. I think the more friends the better. It's like having a cheering squad on the sidelines. Great to see you on here!0
