Hey there! My name is Heather, and I am looking forward to learning more about myself and my eating habits. If you read my profile you will see that I am a Stay at home Mom and a volunteer Fireman. I will admit, I have never had the best eating habits, I am truly a junk-food junkie. But I attend an AWESOME Zumba class weekly, and am starting a Ab workout regimen, cause I am so tired of people thinking I am pregnant! No, people, just fat. I make friends easy, which is why I have been hurt very bad in the past. But I love my family, and my friends with everything I got. I can be supportive, and encouraging to others, but not so good at it for myself. I get frustrated easy, when I dont see results. Not just the scale, mind you, but in the mirror and in my clothes. Oh how I miss my jeans, but I refuse to buy new. I WILL be back in my jeans, proudly dragging them out of the back of the closet will be the best, and I hope to accomplish that!!! Feel the same way? Go ahead and friend me if you like! We can keep each other going! :) Thanks!!

    I have those jeans... and I've pulled them out to keep as encouragement and a reminder of what I'm doing! Welcome to the club!

    Hi and Welcome to mfp:) You will be glad you joined this is a great site and everyone here is really helpful. We are all after one goal to feel better about ourselves. People can be so cruel when it comes to weight. We have to just push the negativity out the door. I am sure you will be getting those jeans back out of the closet real soon. Good Luck :smile:

    Hey Heather, this is my second week here. I've taken a couple Zumba classes and they are a ton of fun, but I get discouraged easily also. Feel free to friend me! And we can encourage each other. -Tanya

    I have those jeans too! Only I had to break down and buy more because I have to go to work in something! I've only been on here a little bit but it's great so far. I bought Zumba for the wii but i have yet to try it! :)

    Thanks Girls! For the Zumba girls: I am COMPLETELY addicted! lol If I could go every day I would! But schedules confine me to one day, so I have to do other stuff. Planning on walking, pushing a stroller I can really feel it in my arms and shoulders, and I have some ab stuff I am starting that I can feel working after I am done! Keep me posted on your progresses! I know it's tough! Thats why we are all here tho, right? :)
