27 and overweight..... But not for long

Hello everyone I am Erica and I am going to be 28 in July. I have have always been a little heavy but not to the extreme I am now, I want to loose 50 lbs and maintain it off, I have seen some of the blogs here and it seems like everyone here really wants to support each other. And trust me i need it. I just can't wait to feel healthy and active again. I hope i can meet some people with the same goal as me so we can encourage each other.
