Hi, My name is Jere. I am 28 years old and my goal is to lose 30lbs before my highschool reunion. I also am seeing this guy who right now is in Afaganistan for the military. I am wanting to also lose weight so I can make his jaw drop when he comes back. I have allways been the geeky girl and I want to be healthy and yes I would like to look good as well. I hope I can do this and I hope you all can join me.
Thanks,
Jere

    Hi Salem,
    I am doing the same. My goal is to lose 2lbs a week.. And Go to the gym 5 times a week. I am giving myself a reward with each goal and the reward is a new book that I am wanting to read. Weird to give my self a book but I think it helps.

    Rewarding yourself with a book is a great idea! Though I can't limit myself to one book when I land into the bookstore so I'd have an empty wallet very quickly ha
