Hi everyone!

My name is Jenna. I'm 30, 5'2 and weigh 167 lbs.

Like most, I've been overweight most of my life. In 2002, I successfully lost 40 lbs but was unable to keep it off. At the time, I was following a very strict low carb diet.

This time around, I'm not necessarily following any specific diet. Instead, I've committed myself to eating better, learning about portion control and exercising regularly. Part of my journey is going to focus on educating myself about proper nutrition and learning how to cook healthier meals for me and my family.

I'm thrilled to have found this site and have already found tons of inspiration from those who have completed their journey and those who are still on it!

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better!

We have groups centering around specific diets, themes, or age groups, find one that inspires you and just post to join! Be sure to check out the 30-somethings
