in Introduce Yourself
Hi! My name is Alyssa. I am here to make some new friends to help me with my weight loss that has needed to happen for many years now and I am finally going to really try and make a schedule for it. Although I am struggling with foods to prepare that are healthy for you, as well as things to do with children. I have a 5 year old and a one year old, I am a stay at home mom, and I do have time to work out during my son's naptime, although I almost always am stuck at the house and can not go to the gym. I am open to suggestions. I own a wii and I do use it for exercise and fun.

Will be glad to get to know everyone. Thanks

Alyssa B.

    Hi and welcome. I joined at the start of January. I work part time and have two kids aged 16 and 9. After the usual Christmas indulgence, good job it's only once a year I felt I needed to start afresh. I do feel motivated to loose some more weight. I will be 40 this year, and although I will never be slim, I aim to loose a bit of weight, I'd be happy with a stone. I really think this website is fantastic, I have the app on my iPod touch which is so handy as I can update at any time. I feel it helps me stay on track and really think about what I eat. I do struggle to drink water though, the most I've managed is 3 glasses in one day. I must try harder. I have access to a wii and do try to go on the Wii fit and lets dance 2, that is fun. I bought a hula hoop yesterday, but so far I'm pretty useless, but hey, I will crack it. I hope you do well and wish you luck.

    Buy a skipping rope and a few dumbells and you can work out at home.

    Hi I am a newbie as well. I have been doing the EA active Sports 2 for about 2 to 3 weeks now and it is really good. We got it for the play station but I'm sure you can get it for the wee. I am also at home with a six month old at the moment and i also have my 2.5 year old home from creche a lot so it is hard to exercise with kids around.

    best of luck
