    Hi everyone! I'm Jessica and I'm working on getting off my lingering pregnancy weight (my daughter is going to be 1 in 10 days so the "I just had a baby" excuse I kept giving myself is no good anymore!) and then get myself to a healthy weight. Along with that, I'm working at limiting my processed food intake and chemicals. I'm trying to eat whole. I want my daughter to establish the healthy eating habits that I didn't have growing up and live a cleaner, healthier life.

    the basic rule of thumb for the Maker's diet is if God didn't make it I don't eat it. it encourages eating natural foods and organic meat. I am working my way on cutting out on processed foods

    Hello everyone...thank you for inviting me to the group. I had my daughter May 5, 2012 and have since been on a journey to a healthier me. I am 87lbs down and still have a few more to go. I currently work out 5 mornings a week and play in a womens full contact(tackle) football league. I am excited to get to know each of you and support each other along the way :).

    Hello Everyone! New to the group as well. Thanks for inviting me, Mrs._S.!

    Brief synopsis: started my healthy and fit journey on June 3, 2012 at 175 pounds. I am now down to 142 (flip flops around, of course) and my ultimate goal is 135. I have 2 1/2 months left to meet all of my goals (I've met my inches goal across the board). I dropped 7 dress sizes in 6 months: from size 13 to a size 6. My profile pic is me wearing a pair of size 6 shorts that I just got in the mail last week. I haven't seen a 6 since 8th grade!

    I'm here to help inspire and motivate and receive it in return. I look forward to interacting with you all!

    Hi. My name is Hope. I had always been thin and able to eat anything I wanted without having to worry about my weight. That is until I hit the 30's. Then I started to slowly putting weight on while working nights. Then I got pregnant and gained alot (that was in 2000). I just couldn't get the weight off after that. Now I've determined I want to be healthier and teach my daughter the importance of exercise and healthy mindful eating. I've lost 28 lbs so far but have some more to loose. Praying we all get healthier. Thanks for inviting me to the group.
