or at least it's a new since like...college!

i am on a military spouse message board and came across this site. i recently decided it was time to lose weight and get back in shape now that my youngest is 6 months old. i just started taking Adipex and recording what i eat yesterday. I'm hoping to start my work-outs tomorrow. it's the getting started part that's the hardest! :tongue:

i have 4 beautiful kids...Katelynn 15, Lexie 13, Zavier 6, and Izabella 6 months. i just got married to a wonderful man, Chris, last October. He is currently in Afghanistan serving our country but will be home VERY soon!! :love:

I'm really excited about getting started on this challenge. several yrs ago i worked out about 10 hours a week and looked and felt great!! i really want to look and feel that good again...hoping to get some of the support and encouragement i need to do that on this site! :happy:

    welcome and best of luck to you. I've been on three months now and found out my Dr is also. It's a slow process, but makes me think before I put something in my mouth. I have lost about 10 pounds slowly, but wasn't heavy in exercising. Last week I found a pal to work out with and even thought we couldn't do it together today, I did get there and get my time in. My Dr wants me to do 10,000 steps a day and this last week and a half, it's be done. I'm on alot of medication for a transplant so that doesn't help, but it's not going to stop me either. Stay in touch.
