Hi! I'm an Athena (about your weight, but about 5 inches shorter) and I live in St. Louis (City, not County). I'm fairly new to all of this as well - about 6 weeks in. I'm not doing this specifically to lose weight, but I imagine I will. I'm actually training for a triathlon so I'm biking and jogging as well, so I figure the weight will come off - at least some of it!
I'm up for a bike ride sometime. Let me tell you right now that there are great trails at Forest Park but some of the hills are really steep (at least, they are for ME because my endurance isn't great yet).
PM me your rough location and we'll work something out.
