in Introduce Yourself
Hi there my name is Jennifer, I am 22 yrs old and this is probably my fourth time starting over. I have been trying to do this alone and figured out I need some support. I am a wife and mother to my 2yr old son. My husband is supportive of my goals but hes not as interested in fitness and health as I am. So I'm just looking for people I can talk and be able to relate to :) Thank you and can't wait to get started with everyone!!

    You are not alone. I understand how difficult it must be to lose weight. I just joined today and hope that I am able to shed off at least 10 lbs. I am much older than you, but know it can be done. Start with baby steps. Instead of taking the elevator at work, take the stairs; walk at lunch time, for 10- 15 minutes. Maybe even work out for a 15-20 minutes after you put your baby down. Start small and gratually adding a bit more. Girl, you are young and can do it! Good luck to you.

    just remember I good it feels when you are better shape .

    You have done it before and you can do it again.

    For me, when I do get close to that goal, that is when I need to re-set my goals, so I can stay on track .

    add me if you wish as friend

    Hi ! Is this the place for encouragement ? I also just joined and have tried and tried again. I know I need someone to help with support and encouragement The doc. is worried about my lungs etc. Loosing weight will help me.Thie advice that was givien is what I know to be true.. I know some things, but you still have to work at it .
