Hi All -



My name is Tricia. I just moved to Portland, Oregon from Southern California and I'm finding that the cooler weather and gloomy skies here are a major barrier for me when it comes to outdoor activity. I've been fighting my weight since I was 16. I made some headway 2 years ago when I lost 60 lbs on Weight Watchers, but have since gained 30 back. I'm 28 now and I want to lose, if not all, a majority of the weight before my 30th birthday in October 2009. I've got a long way to go, but I'm tired of crash diets and I'm certain I can do this slowly and reasonably.



Thanks Jeff and Russ for setting up this community. I've been listening to Fat 2 Fit Radio on the headphones at work and you've inspired me to get back on track for the new year!
