in Introduce Yourself
My name is Tracy and I'm looking to lose the 25 pounds I've gained in the last year. After I had my daughter, I was going to the gym and eathing healthy. She is now three and I got very lazy with my eating habits as well as my exercise habits. My goal is to fit into those jeans I had on last year - I was so proud of myself at the time. I'm hoping to get lots of support and ideas for exercises as I cancelled my gym membership and would like to keep that expense away :)

    Anything is possible, I am living proof of that.:smile: I have had 2 babies, and after my son (who is now 13 months old), I couldn't take my weight anymore (I was almost 200 lbs). Everyone told me that I couldn't do this because I have tried in the past. Well, this time I am proving them wrong. I am 1 lb away from 50 lbs and 5 lbs away from my original goal of 140. I am gone from a size 18W to 10 and some 8's. I am smaller now then what I was in high school. This is very doable with a little commitment, will power, and determination. If I can do this, anyone can (trust me). As for exercising, I don't have a gym membership because I don't have time or money with 2 babies. I have done 30-day shred, Turbojam, Ripped in 30, and C25K (a running program). I love them all.

    You can do it and you've found the right place to support you along the way. MFP makes it amazingly easy to stick to your guns. I am 15 days into my "lifestyle change" and it is already so much easier than it was those first few days. I've lost 6 lbs already. It's actually kind of FUN because MFP lets me so easily track my progress and I see how far I've come in just a short while.

    Good luck!
