Hi there!

NorthSeaSqueezebox

My name is Yvonne from Germany. I´m 35 years old and I don´t feel comfortable with my body. Oh, I did for a few years.
After my twins were born in 1995 i wasn´t able to get rid of the Babypounds... and that were a lot. I was heavy ( about 178) when I got pregnant. Though I did sports. Loved sports. After that emergency C-section I was messed up.
I´m sure that there are many moms who know that vicious cycle. My weight went up to 287 lbs.
I had ups and downs in following years. In 1998 I was on 185 lbs when I got pregnant again. After my daughter was born I weighed 265. It took me seven years to crawl back on 190 lbs. Than I decided to try maintain.
But now I´m in the mood to lose a little more. And get my muscles toned up.
I started my workout a few weeks ago. While looking for inspiration i found this site two weeks ago. THIS IS IT! I love it.
You all are doing a great job and I´d love to be a part of this community.
I started with 200 lbs in Feb and had 187 lbs on the scale last friday.
Yesterday was my Day 1 on the 30 Day Shred. I am soooooo sore today. That didn´t keep me of from doing Day 2 this morning.
So...let´s do it!

Hi Yvonne. Welcome. Great weight loss so far. I have 2 boys around the same ages as your kids. I've been thinking about doing the 30 day shred or P90X just to shake up my fitness routine. Please feel free to add me.
