Hello all, my name is Amy. I am a 41 year old with 2 teenage stepsons. About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and during my treatment and the years following I have managed to gain 40+ pounds. I have finally reached the point where enough is enough and I am ready for a change. I work a desk job 10 hours a day and being so sedentary makes it more difficult to lose weight. I am looking for some friends to help keep me motivated and remind me why i am doing this when things get tough. I look forward to making some new friends

    How is everyone doing today? Are we staying motivated and getting our exercise in? I barely made it through my workout today lol! It was a tough circuit-training type work out. It was only 25 minutes long but my muscles were exhausted by the time I was done. I did it though. On to the next day!!!
