Hi all....quickly approaching 40 and need to lose some weight BADLY! Having some gastro issues and on blood pressure meds. I was told by my doctor if I can get some of the weight off, they would consider taking me off some of my meds. It's been hard because I've never had to really exercise in my life and now these last couple years, I have been steadily gaining and it just seems impossible to get below 190. I'm hoping by counting my calories I can get some of this off me. I have a 2 year old I need to keep up with.

In Richmond VA! Could use some work out partners too!

Friendships welcome!
