Hello all,

My name is Michelle and I am so glad that I came across this site. I have about 30 pounds to lose. I have had a hard time finding balance in my life. It is hard to find balance between school, work, family and health. Unfortunately, health has come last. I think that if I put my health first, it will be easier to find balance with everything else. Hopefully I will also start feeling better about myself.

I just got back from my honeymoon and felt awful the whole time. I didn't feel comfortable in a swimsuit and had really low energy levels. I want to go away with my husband again and feel great! That is my goal. To take a second honeymoon and feel incredible about myself. I am also looking at completing a few running races.

Any advice would be appreciated. I'm also looking for some friends to keep me on track and accountable!

Looking forward to meeting you all,

Michelle

    I know exactly what you mean. It is so hard to have fun and enjoy the good things in life when you are too worried about how you are looking in your own skin.

    You definitely came to the right place though. Everyone here is incredible and so helpful! This is really the right way to lose weight too. A good diet and exercise will keep off the weight for good!

    Good luck to you!!
