Hello everyone!

My name is Leah I'm a 35 year old bar manager from Orlando. My weight has fluctuated all of my life and now for recent health reasons I have to lose weight. I'd like to make some new friends here and trade tips and recipes. Maybe get and give a little support as well. Im determined to do this. I want to feel better. Send me a request and I'll add you! Thanks <3

    Today was rough! I didn't think I was going to make it through the first 10 minutes my limbs were so tired. I pushed through and did 25. Some days are harder than others.
