in Introduce Yourself
Hello, I am new to this site and new to weight loss. I am sick of seeing my body the way that it looks now and I think that I finally have the willpower to do something about it. I am about to turn 30 and a mother of three beautiful children. I am hoping that this will finally be my year! I am alone in this journey as I dont really have time to go to a gym or anywhere else that there are people trying to do the same thing that I am trying to do. Looks like its just me and the treadmill and the workout videos at home. I can do it though!

    I want to utulize this site as much as possible. This is my first day and I dont really know much about it other than the daily food and excersize logs. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I am a little stumped on how I am going to burn the amount of calories that I am supposed to in a day. I know that I can do it, but wondering the best ways to do it. I have a treadmill and a dvd player and thats about it.
