Hi everyone!

I was so glad to find this website. Am looking for friends and support here -- and walking partners, if you're in the NNJ/Bergen County area. My goal is to lose 75 lbs, and I'm hoping to do it in a year.

I changed by diet about 4 weeks ago (green veggies, good fats, and lean protein) and have seen results, so I'm excited to continue. I definitely have a sugar and carb addiction! So I find that by eliminating the wheat/dairy/sugar, my cravings have stopped and my body feels much better.

In terms of exercise: For two years, I hit the gym consistently with an excellent trainer. I lost a size but got injured, which had me on the sidelines for 6 months. Now I'm focusing on walking and weight training at home.

Good luck to all of you! If you'd like to add me as a friend, I'd love to hear about your journey.

Adriana :-)

    Good for you!! Take control and don't look back! :) I, too, am injury prone. Don't let that stop you from finding alternative methods at the gym! My joints scream and I have arthritis in both knees, which means if I push too hard in too short a time span, I sprain things easily. I am living by the motto: "Rest makes rust!" This gives me motivation to move! Keep your spirits high, you can get back into the shape that makes you feel your best.
