I just started taking my life change seriously a couple of days ago. I need to change a lot of things in my life and one of the main things is my health. I've been working out sporadically but not often enough. Today i realized that my exercise and eating habits have to change. I have eaten very healthy today and had a great work out that was a little long (one hour and 35 minutes) and it felt great. Anyway, I'm just looking for some friends on here for support!

    Hey I'm kinda new at this also and have been trying to watch what I eat and excerise more but it's not easy. You can add me as a friend if you like and we can help each other out.

    Question for you.... What kind of work out did you do for an hour and 35min???

    I did multiple dvds. Hip hop abs, standing abs, yoga, a multi muscle 2 mile walk at home dvd, about 10 mins with 5lb dumbells and i think that's it

    I've been here a long time and I keep getting stressed out and quitting. I am looking for people to support me and I find I do better when I am helping others too. Lets do this together!

    Everything you all said connects with me. I need a little added push as well. Feel free to add me...and hound me when you don't see me keeping up with this! :) I will push you as well. I know we can do this...for me, I just need to dedicate myself for the long hall. I can't start, then let up, then start again. It will take hard work, but it is worth it. Anyhow...just my two cents. Add me if you would like. Thanks.

    I'm new to this too. I recently injured my hip so I can't work out for a couple of days yet. I'm trying to diet. My problem is that I snack at night when I'm supposed to be sleeping. Maybe with some support from others I'll quit. Feel free to add me.
