Hi I'm Rachel from WA state. I have 3kids under 5 and a hubby of 8 years. After my hubby joined a gym (cross fit) and was noticeably toning, conditioning, building strength, and loosing inches - I decided it was time to do something too. Besides that my 10year high school reunion was around the corner. Through a crash diet I lost 10lbs. And continued by just watching what I ate and how much and when. I was able to loose 20lbs. Then came the new year (2012) and it was time to step it up. By joining a gym and working out at least 5 days a week I was able to loose an additional 30lbs! Myfitnesspal helped too because I barely became aware of it in January and its been a great tracking tool ever since. Weight loss is private and personal to me. I don't post or sync my progress to Facebook however I would appreciate more MFP friends so feel free to request me. My kids motivate me to go to gym on days I least expect to go because there is a kids room there that they enjoy going to. I've hit a plateau, but then again I am 10 weeks along w/baby #4! At this point of pregnancy, I'd like to maintain my weight so additional tips, motivation, would be great! And don't forget to request me! Just let me know u r from this group 0
