Hi. I'm 5'7 and weigh about 190. I'm looking to fit into my size 10 jeans! I wore those four years ago. After my 3 year old daughter was born I went through some depression. Depression=eating lots & no motivation. I'm past that though. I'm on a mission to get fit! I've been trying to go to the gym 3 times a week for lifting weights, walking the treadmill, & the eliptical machine.

I live in KS and the weather has been kind of crazy. It's warm for a few days and then snow and ice on the ground and 20 degrees. On nice days I try to get out and walk my dogs or go hiking at a local trail.

I'm just here looking for others who are on a mission to lose weight and get healthy.

    feel free to add me! i'm 5'5, currently 216 and 1 month into a primal lifestyle. i haven't started my gym workouts yet, i'm working up to them. i have some uk size 14 jeans i want to wear, roughly a us size 10 so we kind of have a similar goal.
    i'm in illinois and dealing with similar weather to you - i feel your pain! 4 degrees just isn't cohesive with a long walk with the dog on a friday afternoon :angry:
