40 something with 200 lbs to lose looking for friends

I have been using MFP and FitBit for the last 2.5 months and have just started to lose some of the 200 lbs total I would like to shed. I live in the Boston area and now that the weather is turning I am struggling a bit to find ways to keep moving while indoors. I have also been working hard on eating better and learning portion control. Lurking on the forums here and on FitBit has been a great help - but I am finally ready to be more active in the community. To that end I am looking for friends to keep me motivated.

If you are seeking friends please consider adding me.

Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you soon!

    Oh my gosh . . . You've lost 28 lbs :) - YAY! - Instead of focusing on 200 - chunck it - go 3-5 lbs - or even 1 lb - I have seen (on Pinterest) what one lb looks like - you would be IMPRESSED with yourself if you visualized all that off your body :) - !

    Way to go keep up the HARD work :)!
