in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone. Im a 32 yr old SAHM to 3 young children looking to lose 20 or so pounds. Im tall and not considered overweight but I have alot more fat that muscle. I am hoping to find an online workout buddy so we can keep each other motivated and on the ball. I joined a similar site a few months ago, started counting calories and losing inches just to find that no one would ever reply to my posts and I slowly stopped visiting the site and counting calories. Now I want to get back in the swing of things so I can be confident next summer with a swimsuit on. I hope to make some new friends here.
