in Introduce Yourself
Hi I am mighty125 and I am looking for a buddy to challenge and support each other.

I am 38 years old and a mother of 4 (ages 17, 13, 6 and 9 months old), currently unemployed and try to build my own business. I started walking a couple of weeks ago and I am enjoying every minute of it. I have always had a hard time exercising so I am very surprised that I am enjoying myself. I think the reason is because I try to be spiritual and that is the time I use to pray and meditate, it helps me mentally and physically.

Currently I am 195.2 lbs. and I am 5'2 so I have a long way to go...but I am ready to do it this time...

Let me know if anyone out there would like to be my buddy.

    Hey Mighty125. My name is Shajunia. I am 29 years old mother of two (11 and 2 year old). I am currently employed as as case manager. I just started walking on yesterday in my neighborhood. I walked for about 40 minutes at a moderate pace and it was AWESOME!!!!

    I am currently 207lbs and I am also 5'2. I want to lose between 50-70 lbs. My initial long term goal is 50 pounds. I have a long way to go as well. I would love to be your buddy. I need motivation because I use to begin and quite so many times but I just want to feel good about myself. In addition, I don't want to eventually become diabetic because I am borderline.

    Good luck to you!!

    I'm totally on board! Let's all do this together! Question: If everyone on here loses weight intended, will the earth spin faster?
