Hi I'm Becky! I live in New York, and I tend to be less active in the cold winter months. I just joined a gym and have had 2 sessions with a trainer. My whole body is aching! But I'm excited, and I love reading all the success stories on this site. I've learned a lot about how to eat 'correctly' My two main weaknesses are Guiness, and peanut butter. Not that peanut butter is that bad, but at the volume I consume it is lol. I have 20 pounds to lose, and I'm shooting for losing 2 pounds a week. Hoping to reach my goal before summer

It certainly is tough to keep active in the winter! I agree that reading success stories is great...they really keep me motivated! I think that your goal is certainly obtainable!!! Good luck!

Hi Becky. I also agree that it is harder to stay active in the winter time. You are on the right track. I just started counting my calories and I am still trying to motivate myself to start exercising but reading the success stories on here are so great. Good luck to you!!! You can do it.

thanks! I'm trying to only have beers on the weekend~so far so good! I've read some forums on what alcohol does to your metabolism~very helpful.
