I hope this works!

Hi,
I am new and found this site from a coworker who lost 25 lbs. I want to get healthy! I have been blessed with good health but I am overweight and now that I am getting older I can feel it. I would love to lose 30lbs. altogether. If there is anyone out there who can inspire me with their story, please do! The more friends here the better! Thanks and I hope you reach your goal whatever that may be!
