in Introduce Yourself
Support systems are the best way to go. Helpful, supportive, and motivational.

I'm 31 years old
Single mom of a wonderful 6 year old.

During my pregnancy I gained almost 100lb and was never really able to shave the weight back off.
I'm stuck with the terrible mom bod and due to a C section, left with the dreaded mother's apron. I've tried diet after diet, and I've hated it... but I really think my love of food in general was my excuse to not push myself more.
About 2.5 years ago, her father died and I gave up on everything, including myself.
Now that I've hit my 30s, I've grown tired of being tired all the time, lacking energy.. back pains, knee pains.. even waking up to migranes (ouch!)... it's time for me to really push myself to be healthier not just for me, but for my daughter. She doesnt have anyone else.

I dont really have anyone to walk with me on this new journey of self improvement.. would anyone like to be my buddy and we can help eachother be better?
