new to the group

hello everybody,

im glad i found this group. im 33 yrs old and 5 ft and embarrassed to say I weigh 196lbs. I am at my all time high and need to make the change. Im also having terrible back pain and knee pain because of this weight. I have a goal to weigh 115-125lbs. I guess Ill see how it goes to determine my actual goal weight. Right now I  have an immediate goal to get down to 170. Its just scary to think Im almost 200lbs. Im here to learn the ropes and be motivated. Im also interested to find some online weight loss buddies who are in the same weight loss goal. Thanks!

codella,

I am 5 ft  myself and know how easy weight is put on. 

I wish you all the best in weight loss journy.

Take care

Janicely
