Hello! I can't figure out how to set up a public profile. I've written in my journal and posted it but have not gotten any responses and I think I might be doing it wrong. I'd love to get in on the conversations, because I think it will really help me stay focused and feel connected. Can you help me get started?

Hi! Where did you find the profile questions? I can't seem to get to that place from the site.

Oops. Just found them above.

16. I have been overweight my whole life, approx. the same size for 25 years. Never all that motivated to change, now that I am in my 40s the weight is slowing me down, I need to lose the weight as I plan to be healthy when I retire in 7 years. At that time I want to head out in the Rv and travel the National Parks, hiking, kayaking and camping with my family. At this rate it will not happen, so now I have a real reason, I just need to stay motivated!

Help! Any work out buddies out there near Saratoga NY

16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? I had a pretty significany weighht loss of 65 lbs 2 years ago.  Then miraculously became pregnant, (was not trying-didn't think I could) with twins.  Every good habit I learned went out the window, I stopped working out completely and ate everything That was a no-no before.  I really only gained about 40 lbs while pregnant, but gaines alot after I had the babies because I continued to eat like I was pregnant.  I am so ready to lose the weight again.  I know I can do it, I have done it before with diet and exercise.
