Hi all
I just started this about a week ago and so far so good i think. I am an ex pro soccer player and my weight has crept up on me over the past couple of years. After splitting my second pair of jeans, i had 2 options: Buy bigger jeans or stop being lazy. So, I chose the latter and here I am. I have about 16lbs to lose and want to get fit again so I can keep up with the young ones on the soccer field. If you have the time and inclination, I would love some budies to chat with to keep me going - and hopefully keep you going too :)
Sarah

    I'm always looking for some motivation and someone in a similar situation. Friend request sent. Good luck, looks like you're already on your way.

    I"m in the battle of the jeans myself! Much better to take it on and lose weight than go up a size if you can! Friend request is being sent!:flowerforyou:

    Thanks guys :) I'm about to go for a run although I really don't feel like it. Since I have changed my diet my stomach has been bloated and sore :( But I am hoping it is just adjusting, It's only been 8 days.
