Aloha everyone,
I am a 29 year-old mother of a wonderful 21 month old boy and I live in Honolulu, Hawaii. I am also pursuing my Master's in counseling psychology and work part-time. I have always been really active and love anything outdoors, especially ocean related activities like surfing and diving. However, I steadily gained weight through my college years and now that I am a busy mom the weight is creeping even higher!
I'm tired of feeling uncomfortable in my skin and want to get healthy and fit to be a better mom and a better me (not to mention revive my relationship!) I have at least 30 lbs to lose...
I also am in a friend's wedding shortly and realized just how large I will look next to the bride and other bridesmaids unless I get my *kitten* in gear! So, here I am.
Looking for friends and support, I'll try to help you too : )
Aloha!

Hi Kai
I have gained a lot of weight over the past two years in college as well and am looking to loose about the same amount as you. I feel the same way, I just want to feel comfortable again. If you need any support I will be here! Im looking for the same as well
Good luck !0
