Hi, I'm Joanne, 28, from Manchester. Since last June, I have lost 1stone by learning to eat properly and doing away with the bad habits I had. I am now looking to lose another 30-35lbs (hopefully by Christmas).

I have never been fit and have smoked for 12 years. I have entered myself in the Manchester 10K in May, and I am also going to try to climb Snowdon in June in a bid to get myself fitter. I also packed in the cigarettes 2 weeks ago. And already I feel so much better.

I am looking for a fitness/foodie buddy that can help me along the way and keep me on the straight and narrow, and I will do the same in return!

If you think you can help, then message me! Thanks x :wink:

    Hello, any K at all seems out of reach, but I'm just starting. I love hiking in the Oregon Gorge and am looking forward to completing the 10 mile hike on Mt St Helens this summers as I live just about an hour away. =o) Add me if you like! I'm looking to lose 50lbs by june when I make my first trip to NY and I'm trying to get back to the weight I was when I met and married my husband almost 10 years ago!

    I did a strangled jog for 30mins this evening and nearly passed out.
    Please tell me it will get better!?
