:smile:
Hey Everyone! I'm looking for support buddies or maybe a group to join. i'M 45, Mom to 2 very active teenage daughters, work full time, and not finding much "support" from my family. I just kind of get the "oh, here we go again" attitude. Lol. I'm hoping to eventually lose 30 pounds. Friends anyone? :happy:

    M O M sounds good to me!
    just in case any of us are NOT mothers, how about the first m will stand for whatever us moms choose...
    eg: muchachas on a mission, whatever...?

    ok, so whatever we call ourselves, here goes:
    i just got home from two classes at the ymca:

    1 the bottom line
    2 power yoga

    my heart rate monitor says i burned about 635 calories-!!! i didn't want to go at all...it's that time of the month, feeling tired, but am so glad i went!

    hope everyone has found time to do something to make themselves feel good today in the long term!
