I'm a 45 year old mother of four. I lost over 100 pounds through diet and exercise almost 6 years ago. Then last January I started working full-time again, got lazy about exercise, went crazy eating during the holidays and put on over 20 pounds. Ugh. So now I'm back on the Fitness Trail. I joined the YMCA 3 weeks ago and have been working out every day, sometimes twice a day. I'm down 5 pounds and just starting to feel it in my clothes. yay.

I love the My Fitness Pal exercise and diet logs...they're helping so much! I was getting frustrated that I wasn't losing weight until I logged in and realized I was still consuming too many calories. Now that I got that on track, the weight is coming off. Shew.

Anyway, this is me, and a little bit of my story.:happy:
