Default Getting off the Struggle Bus

Hi all!

Hope you guys are having a great day!

My name's Kate and I've been struggling with my weight since I was in college. A few years ago I did lose 30 pounds, but fell off the bandwagon with an entire German chocolate cake. I never really got back on the right path --saying I've already had a bad day, so why not a bad week? That bad week turned into months and now, three years later, here I am. I'm now heavier than I've ever been.

My size really hit me when I was trying on bridesmaid's dresses. I'm the *only* bridesmaid who has a double digit dress size.

So I've decided to do something about it and am getting off this struggle bus!

I'm excited to meet you guys!

Hi Kate,
Nice to meet you. I'm new too. I am tired of just complaining about my weight. I am motivated to lose some weight. Very excited to find this board

I'll always put it off too, thinking tomorrow or next week, then you realize how much time has been wasted. I'm ready to start this journey

Default Kate! Can I keep you?

Your numbers and goals hit me right in the feels! (Aanndddd they're practically identical, so, there's that!) I would really like an active motivation in my life, and if we could conquer this monster at a similar rate, how perfect would that be!

can't wait to take this journey side-by-side and miles apart! let's geeetttt itttt!
