Hi everyone. I am new and this is my first attempt at reaching out to a forum to garner support in my attempt to lose weight. I am taking an adventure vacation in Africa at the end of June and I need to be in shape to enjoy every moment of it and not struggle behind my guides and my boyfriend. I have given myself a goal of 30 pounds in six months and for the first time in my life I am absolutely dedicated to achieving this. So if anyone has any hints, or just has any words of encouragment I would love to hear from you. Thanks!
