Ready to be a Big Loser!

saphstone

Hello myfitnesspal world! My name is Andrea and I'd like to say hi! I've been a member for a few months. But until now I've only given the site a cursory glance. I am married and the proud mom of an 8 yr old greyhound/australian shepherd mix dog.

I weighed in on my Wii this morning and got quite a jolt. I've gained 15 pounds since February 17!! I knew I'd put on some weight, because of how my clothes are fitting. But I had no idea I was that out of control. I have recently become unemployed (my employer of 9 years filed bankruptcy and the store I worked at was closed.) It's been hard getting myself motivated to do anything, but I believe that this most recent awakening is a big enough kick in my butt. I just started the 3 week cardio kickstart on EA Sports Active 2. Is anyone else out there using this game/program?

You are in the right spot - there is lots of motivation here! I have not used the EA 2, I only have EA 1 but haven't used that in awhile.

While being unemployed is probably a downer, look at it as an opporunity to have more time for exercising and planning your healthy meals and snacks!
