My name is Rebeca and I have two wonderful boys, ages 6 and 1. I am on a mission to get my body back in shape after my most recent pregnancy! It took me two years to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight with my first son but I was younger and had a job where I was very active and on my feet back then. No I sit behind a desk and rarely have time between stacks of paperwork and phone calls to get up and walk around the small office. Needless to say, I am having trouble this time around losing the extra weight! When I found the MyFitnessPal app on my phone I decided to give it a try. I am almost finished with my first week of calorie counting and I have been keeping up my exercise goals too!

I am excited to see how this works for me and I'd love to hear from others about their progress as well. Thanks for reading this. I hope to make new friends here to share experiences with and maybe find a few ladies from my area to meet up and walk with or go hiking on the weekends. I moved to the Killeen area from Houston, Texas, my hometown. Back there I was able to find all sorts of groups of women who would meet up and do stroller power walking, pushing the babies while getting a great cardio work out. I was still pregnant at the time we came here and I had hoped to find something in the Killeen area like that but no such luck yet!

    Thank you! I am trying to convince my best friend to join here but she is stuck on her HCG diet. The problem there is she gains all the weight she loses back once she takes the break between cycles. :-(

    This is a fab site, everyone is real friendly and supportive xxx
  • the support from other users really helps to keep me going. i had joined this website a whole year ago but i didnt reach out to anyone or accept friends and i ended up not using the website and not losing weight.

    when i came back in october and got serious i started being active in the forums and realized that having that extra support of other friends/users would make such a huge difference and that although youre the one who has to work, it's alot easier to do when people are cheering you on. and i've gotten so many good tips on food substitutions and tricks to burn more calories during a workout.

    i hope that you love it here as much as i do and that you have great success!
    best of luck to you on you journey!!
