I was called chubby by someone very close and dear to me. It wasn't mean and it wasn't to call me names - it was a candid discussion. It still hurt me any way. I want to change, but want to keep it secret for now. I am embarking on the journey to lose 36 pounds.

I'd love some support and friendship on this journey!

I have struggled with weight, due to health issues and then life events. I used to be a runner and weight lifter just a few years ago. I have a flexible schedule now, which somehow makes it more difficult to dedicate myself to a workout and eating lifestyle. I go to the gym, but also love to cycle and experience nature.

    You can consider this event as your aha moment and use it as an inspiration. 36 may seems a lot, but little by little you will get there. Good luck...

    hey, Reggi!

    even tho you don't look like you need to loose 36 pounds by your profile pic, good luck. It always take a bit of a time to adjust yourself to a new habit, may it be a diet or some other daily routine. Focus and perseverance. One step at a time.

    Best of regards,

    S.C.D.
