Hey there ~ My name is Tasha.

I'm the mother of two sweet boys - 6 & 3. I just turned 30 in May and decided it is time to get the shape! My husband and I have been going to the gym 5 days a week for 4 weeks now, he works out with a friend of his and I mainly attend classes - such as body conditioning, Zumba and R.I.P.P.E.D.

I did this over 4 years ago when I was 25 (about to turn 26) and shed pounds like crazy!! I lost 28 pounds in 5 weeks! Then I got pregnant with my youngest son :tongue: I am finding now that I've been watching my calorie intake, eating very healthy foods and exercising like crazy and have only lost 5 pounds. (really?) It has to be because I'm 30 now.

I would love to have a support network on here as I don't have one "offline" (other than my husband who is the most important member of my support network).

    Yea for Washington state!
    I just joined too, and I am living in Spokane Wa.
    I have been struggling with my weight for the last 10 years and hoped this will help.
    I am looking for a support network too :)
    Your boys look so cute!

    Thank you ~ I'm in Spokane too. I have found that the YMCA is the best place to go - the classes really help me to stay in the grove of going everyday :)

    I haven't tried the YMCA yet but I really want to start swimming and I hear they have a great pool.

    I'm in WA (Seattle area).....have a lot to lose, but no kids to blame it on, unfortunately.......lol.

    I do a lot of swimming and water aerobics - - I highly recommend that. It's fun......you can even kinda pretend you are on vacation when you are in the water! (or i do, anyway!)

    good luck!

    I'm down south of you in the Tri-Cities!

    I would love to blame my weight on my three kids, but the baby is now 10, and I have gone just up and up and up since his birth!

    We don't have a decent Y here, but I love love love our Gold's Gym!
