I am a very busy mom of 3 and also a student. My husband is getting his masters right now, and the kids are all under the age of 6. I have so much on my plate, and always said I was too busy to workout. Now, I realize that I'm too busy NOT to workout. I need to put myself and my health as a priority, or I will not be able to love my husband, my kids, or my studies the way I should.

I am not fat, but I am definately not fit. I am around 25 lbs from where I would like to be. I am really good at making excuses, and am very tired of not being proud of the way I look. I can be a brave face and pretend to the world that all is well. But, I really don't like the way I look 98% of the time.

I have a metabolism that is slower than molasses, and I get easily discouraged with slow results. I just want to be successful.

    You will! Set your mind to it and you can anything you want. Hard work and determination will get you there.
    Good luck!

    You just totally described me at the beginning of my journey, minus the kids. Welcome! You can totally do this--get a good support network and stay accountable to them.

    It all starts with the mindset, my friend - which you have! And I know you can do this!!! I'll be with you every step of the way!
