Hello Gabrielle,
What a wonderful first step is to to make a public commitment to becoming healthy! I started my journey less than a month ago and, although it has been difficult at times, so far it has been the most rewarding thing I've ever done. The ladies and gents on this site have already been very helpful in getting me through some of my tough times. I'm looking forward to becoming more involved in this great community
Best of luck to you with the weight loss and exercise!
