Hello everyone,
I'm new to this. I used to be a cross country runner, then I came to college and gained more than the freshman 15. My two best friends are getting married next year and I am in their weddings. I am hoping to loose weight for the weddings and start to compete again in races! I really hope this works, I'm starting to feel hopeless!!
