Need new friends on this journey..

Options
Hi everyone,

My name is Roz, age 33, and I am starting this new journey to better health n fitness. I am a working mom of two, obese and unhappy. I used to weigh about 120 lbs, roughly 55 kg, I am small framed, 5 feet 3 height. I started gaining weight due to unhealthy lifestyle choices and it became worse after my 2 pregnancies. I am not blaming my children for the weight gained, I love them to bits but I have only myself to blame for my weight. Currently I am a whopping 194 lbs, 88 kgs and my poor legs are killing me.

My aim is to learn eating healthy again and stay active and fit while slowly losing the weight for good. If it goes away fast, so much the better but I am aiming for a healthier lifestyle first and foremost. I need some new friends on this journey of mine and if anyone feels the same way as I do, lets be friends and support each other. .
