in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone,

I am a 49 year old female scheduled to turn 50 this year. Since I was a young teen, I have been on every fad diet going. I even went as far as anorexia and belemia. Over the years I have developed and enjoyed fitness programs but like most people, life gets in the way. I am a single mother of twin teens and a very demanding profession. What always suffered? My fitness goals!, I went from running 10K per day for a year to not at all, what changed? my job/ kids and then desire to do it. So how do we find time and energy to do it all? I went on LA weight loss 2 years ago and found it to be one of the best lifestyle changes I have ever found and it worked. and it was realistic..low and behold, they went out of business 6 months in to the diet. I had lost 20 pounds in that time and was keeping it at bay until the socializing lifestyle kicks in (you know what I mean, Christman, New Years, Birthdays, summer time backyard gatherings). Before I knew it, I was backto where I started. Now, being 49 going on 50, the menopause has kicked in with a vengence which added 10 pounds in a matter of weeks. I am committed to this program as it only gets worse unless we get ahold of it now. I am very anxious for this program to be an app on Blackberry so I can take it with me on business.:laugh:
Good luck everyone...we can do it...
