Hello! :)

Hey ya'll,

Today is the first day for myself and my daughter. I want to feel better, look better and set a great example for my family. My goal is to lose 40lbs by my 29th birthday; July 27.

My daughter is 11 and in 5th grade, she is BEAUTIFUL but chubby. She joined a select soccer club (she is a AWESOME soccer player), which has started her healthy eating habits and exercising. Seeing her making these lifestyle changes remind me that I need to stop being lazy and do the right thing for myself and my family. My goal is to get her to a healthy weight (a loss of about 10 lbs) and her goal is to wear a 2 piece next summer! :

Together we are encouraging each other to make lifestyle changes and get healthy!
Thanks is advance for the tips and encouragement!! :)
