Hi all! I am new and trying to lose the dreaded baby weight. I have a 10 month old daughter and am so ready to drop the extra pounds. I have to lose 37 lbs to my goal weight and it seems like soooo much! My biggest problem is finding time between being a mom and working. I am so tired I just pass out at night and I hate waking up early. Yes I know some changes will have to be made to achieve my goals, but that is why I have this site! Motivation!!!

    I'm right there with ya girl!! I have 46 lbs. to go from having my son (who is 8 almost 9 mons now) and I have already lost 27 lbs.! So you can imagine how big I was! I feel tired too but I just keep pushing thru! I know what the end result will be and it makes me work harder! If you need any advice or support dont hesitate to call on me! I am also a minister too! So if you need some uplifting, I can help you with that also! :)

    Welcome!

    I am also NOT a morning person but really it's the only way I've found to do it. If I work out at night after the kids are in bed I can't sleep. The 5-8 time in the evening is all I get to seem them during the week so that is too precious for work out time. So my alarm goes off at 6am everyday (and I try to be in bed by 10).
