Hi! I am a 35 year old mom of two. I have always been overweight and am really ready to actually try something now. I am hoping this site will help keep me going.
I have been using my Wii Fit to at least start moving as well as walking with my kids each night. DH and I will be going to look for a gym hopefully tomorrow. Not sure I'll be real comfy working out in a public gym, but I can't stay like this forever.

This is my third day on here. I'm really becoming more aware of what i'm eating! That was my biggest problem. I enjoy exercise and i have finally fit somewhat of a routine into every day. Now i need to work on the FOOD part of it.

GOOD LUCK!
OH.. and i'm from IL too. - Tiff

good luck... and as far as the gym goes don't sweat it almost anyone there is to busy worrying about themselves to even care about what your doing.....everyone is self-concious about something, that what I tell myself when I go:laugh:

Welcome! This site is AWESOME! I've never been more in 'tune' with my nutritional habits since joining here! I started with my Wii as well last summer. Then my wife bought me the P90X workout program and it's changed my life!! (and her's too!)...come visit at www.pricefamilyfitness.com! Welcome again! God bless....
