Hi! I just found this site and am interested meeting some new people that may provide inspiration, motivation and support.

I just wanted to introduce myself:

I'm 25, 5'7" and have been successful at shedding close to 65 pounds. I'm hovering in the 175 range--just about 20 pounds from my goal weight but struggling to get past this last hump. I've recently taken up jogging and have worked my way up to a 5K. I'm now trying to continue the cardio and I've added weight-lifting. I've become exceedingly interested in fitness since I'm now in the best shape of my life. Most of all though, I love to hike and I try to get out as often as I can.

Cheers!

Hey Maureen!

Wow! Congratulations on your great success so far.

Have you looked at our "Exercise" forum? We have a "Cool Runners" thread, with runners at all levels. We also have the "Ladies who Lift" forum, which might be great for you to get advice and discuss.

Other than that, settle in and post wherever. Can't wait to get to know you better soon! Stick around!

Welcome, Maureen! I'm sure you'll love 3FC! You may also be interested in the the Featherweight thread, since you are only 20 lbs. from goal.
