Hello Everyone
I am Paula, I am 50 years young, mother of two grown adults, and currently in college.
My goal here is, to shed off these pounds that are weighing my body down and causing me extra aches and pains, get into a better regime of exercise, diet, and overall lifestyle that I can continue well after my goal has been reached.
Nice to meet you all, and I hope to check in again soon!
