in Getting Started
Hey all! I'm a 23 year old new mom who needs some friends goin on the same journey. I'm from the south.
I am looking to drop 50lbs. I really have no deadline, I'm doing this for me and my view on my body.
Any help, tips, and advice would be welcomed!!
My plan is to cut sugars, sodas, and breads from our household. Also light cardio to start off, I have bad knees and no endurance anymore. I look forward to knowing y'all.

    Hi, I'm 28 and a mom of 3. I've got right around 30 lbs left to lose. I've found that the more friends I have that log in and exercise every day the more it motivates me to do the same. I'm just restarting again this week after taking off last week to recover from my gall bladder surgery. Anyway I'd love to be friends!

    You're in the right place! You can do it :smile: I'm looking to lose about 40lbs total.
    I love your profile picture, by the way, I have a leopard gecko, as well!

    Nice to meet you!!! Gal bladder removal was rough on me in a digestive sense.
    I hope we can motivate each other!!

    Yay! I love all my reptiles. I'm glad to have a friend on here who appreciates them as well.
    I'm sure we will be able to support each other in more ways than just weight loss!!! And that goes to all of you ladies. :)
