in Introduce Yourself
I am in my early forties and have a 3 year old and an almost 5 year old.
Lost 13 pounds so far, but have about 45 to go.
I gained most of it afteri I moved to the south from the north.
I am a former aerobics instructor and fitness trainer so I have no excuses!
Anyone out there like me?

    I have a 2 year old and an almost 5 year old. I live in the Northwest, but have lived in Colorado and Greece and packed on the weight with the moves AND while pregnant. I've lost 35 pounds in the last year and I'm hoping to lose up to ten more...or at least tone what I have! Feel free to friend me if you like.

    Hi and welcome! I joined mfp at the beginning of the month, and so far I'm down 8 pounds and have 95 more that I need to lose.

    I turn 30 next month, I'm married, and a work-from-home mother of 2 boys... ages 6 and 4.

    I was a dancer all my life, until I got married 10 years ago.... so, like you, I have no excuses either. After I got married, I gave that lifestyle up, along with much of any physical activity, due to working behind a desk 6 days/week at a bank.

    Anyways, I am here to take back my life and get to that weight/size again! Feel free to send me a friend request if you'd like. I would be honored to be on the journey with you!
