New & Need Help!

Jennil05

Hey everyone, I am new to this group! I have decided that I NEED to lose these pesky 20 pounds that make me tired and jiggly. My problem is time! I work 30-35 hours a week as an optician as well as take 14 credit college hours. I am about halfway towards my education degree. I also have two little boys one of whom is in preschool 3 days a week. My life is insane!

Anyway I am thinking of getting up earlier in the mornings (as cutting out sleep will be the only way I can workout) so I can do the 30 Day Shred at least 3 times a week to start. I would also like to do the Slim Fast Diet since I usually forget to eat during the day... I figured throwing a shake in my purse in the AM will be the easiest way to start. I was also thinking of maybe doing some Xantrex or some other "diet pill" to get some added energy since I plan to cut out soda (I live on caffeine.)

I am 5'5 and 150 right now and my goal is to be 130 AND toned. I have lost about 5 pounds already since December just from the stress of being on the go all the time but I also just stopped nursing my 1 year old so I feel I can do more now. Any comments/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am going to need motivation!
