in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I'm new to the site. I live in NJ and commute to NY during the week. I am looking to lose around 30 pounds but, mostly I would just like to be "in shape". I feel like I have worked hard to get back into shape (after a surgery and medication that caused weight gain) to no avail, so now I am joining this site in the hopes to figure out what I am doing right, wrong, and find some others who might have similar experiences or good advice.

    Hi! I'm in South Jersey and feel your pain. I have many pounds to go and have already lost 20. As soon as I started tracking my food and calories on here and could see what I was eating I started cutting out and down. Good luck, you can do it!!

    Live in PA, near the border, but work mostly in NJ, so it's almost like living there. Feel free to add if you'd like more "local" friends. :)
