Enough is enough! I need to do this!

Re-starting, as I am at my heaviest weight...
I'll be 40 this year and I want to be in great shape and healthy!
I'm a super busy wife, mom, and teacher, but I know I need to fit in exercise because it's the only way I ever lose weight. I'm a weight " fluctuater;" I have about 4 sizes at any given time in my closet. I'm tired of this roller coaster and just want to get in shape and stay that way! Need all the support I can get! Determined!

    You can do it! Best of luck!!
  • You can do this. Nothing makes for a better workout coach than determination.

    Finding time to work out or get an extra walk into my day is like my secret mission. I try my best every day to push just a little harder than the day before.

    There are a lot of communities to reach out to when you're looking for support. Definitely seek them out.

    Good for you! Going for it with a positive attitude is best.
  • I'm right there with you. I gained a lot of weight from college, moving 3 times within those 4 years( no excuse). I'm graduating in May and I'll be a teacher! We've got something in common!!!
    I really want exercise to be a normal part of my life...I am so ashamed with myself with exercising for 3 weeks and falling off the wagon! It is a time for change...

    I'll be your buddy, we can chat!.

  • Sounds good! Good luck finishing school!

    Main key - Think lifestyle change, not diet.
    Make only changes that are sustainable for life.
    Find a fitness passion.
