I am a stay at home mom of a 10 year old son. But I do work for my dad (at home) volunteer at my son's school one morning a week and am on a hospital board so I keep pretty busy. 7 years ago I got down to my goal weight and then was diagnosed with cancer. Through the process and after I gained over 40 lbs. Through cutting out sugar and white starches from my diet and doing Chalene Extreme and now Turbo Fire I have lost almost 20 of that but the last 20 are really trying to stand their ground!:devil: I work out 5-6 times a week at pretty high intensity and my diet is pretty good ..the only problem with food I have is an addiction to cake!:ohwell: Hoping I can lose about 10 lbs by February.

Nice to meet you all! :love: :heart:

    :happy: Hi there! Welcome to MFPals! I love it here and the support is great. Altho lately...now that its cold here and turnin into winter...im gettin lazy in my excercising..so I need some fire under my butt and hope my friends give me a talkin too! lol ;p
    I hope your doing better and are cancer free! Good job on losing the weight and Im sure w/ the hard work your puttin in those extra 20 will come off :)
    Do you mind if I ask what Chalene is? My biggest prob is carbs! always! potatoe chips, pretzels, crackers, cookies. haha. I do the insanity workout and walk on my treadmill but ever snack I eat just settles right in my lower belly! I've tried atkins before and keep thinkin I should do that again just to get these pesty 15lbs off!~ even 10 would be good!

    Anywho...welcome! Im glad your apart and look forward to reading your progress

    Hello and welcome to MFP! You will find lots of support and encouragement here. I am also a cancer patient, having been battling for the past four years. It has now moved into my lungs and I am on medication which tends to make you put on weight. So, I'm now paranoid and very careful about everything I put into my mouth and logging it here sure helps.

    Anyway, friend request on the way and maybe we can motivate each other on the journey. :flowerforyou:
