Hello Everyone,

I have contemplated doing this because I have just been so disappointed in myself and the weight I have put on the last couple of years, but have been too embarrassed to reach out. I have about 40lbs to lose and that feels insurmountable to me. I always find ways to accomplish goals, but this one has flat out kicked my butt and it has been beyond frustrating! I would love to find someone else to share this journy/accountability with in order to help each other!!

    Had a good session yesterday. Was so sore this morning could barely move my arms. Gave it a few hours just had an amazing session again. Was hard the first 20 mins after I warmed up and pushed through the pain I feel great. Was worth it just told myself that it would be and it was. ;)

    Make yourself a priority. If 40 pounds seems insurmountable, don’t think about 40 pounds, Think about what you are going to do for yourself today that supports the goal. I’m taking on 70 pounds and I know I can do what I need to do today. What is your plan?

    Remember fitness should be about the journey!! Enjoy the ride, don’t aim for the finish line!
