New Member from Detroit looking for friends and support :)

Hi All!

I am only on my second week of being a member and would love to find some buddies to add in order to keep each other in check and to motivate to do well and stick with it

I live in Detroit so it would be great to meet some people who are in the area but I would love to make friends with people from all over. I am originally from Wales but have been living in the US for 16 years with 2 of them in DC and the rest in Michigan. I work for the Pediatric Weight Management Center at Wayne State University. I definitely know about healthy eating and exercise because I am working around that information all day, every day. I don’t have any excuses because I know what it will take…hard work! I know that I am just lacking the confidence in myself and the SELF CONTROL and DISCIPLINE.

I am trying to get down from just under 200 down to 165 at first...don't want my goal to be too daunting (35 seems daunting enough) but maybe one day get down to the correct BMI for my height (I am 5' 2'' so it's pretty low).

I would love to meet some friends on here who could give me the support to stick with it and to trust that I can do it.
