in Introduce Yourself
Can't seem to find many friends on here. Just need some support and motivation with women in pretty much the same boat as me. Don't have a lot to lose, 50 pounds, but words of advice are nice. Little tips and tricks. You know? I'm Shannon and I'm 34. :laugh:

    Hi,

    I'm working hard to really get back in shape.
    After heaving 2 kids i gained 8 kg. I'm glad I get that ringbell in my head that this was not the way i wanted to be. So i changed my lifestyle.

    Age: 39
    Length 5"25 (1.60 cm)
    CW: 119 (54 kg)
    Goal: to be fit and toned


    From 68 kg to 54 kg in 1,5 year
    So i lost 14 kg

    I am determined to get rid of all my fat on my leggs.
    I will get what i want someday soon!!

    Hi there ladies. I am turning 30 this year and am a single mother to 3 beautiful girls; 10, 8, and 3. We function as a team of four in order to help each other reach our dreams and goals. I am a figure competitor, full time gang officer, and I serve in the US Army Reserve. I coach my daughter's volleyball team and teach them about health and fitness every chance I get. I am finishing my Personal Training Certification soon, and love nothing more than to help others on here, and in real life, by holding them accountable and doing some "excuse busting". :-) Feel free to add me if you would like.

    You can add me too. I'm turning 30 in a few months and I am a single mother with a two year old boy. I'm trying hard to lose about 70 lbs and it is tough to find time between work and the kiddo. I've found it especially hard because I used to work out a gym, but I can't do that anymore because I can't afford it (kids cost too much!) and I also don't have anyone to watch my son while I work out. I'm learning to make do with walks, going to the park, doing exercise videos and I just got a used elliptical to help me out. We can do this - there's always a way!

    I've lost about 45lbs since my daughter was born last May and would like to lose another 15-20lbs.

    Yeah! Good post. Would love to have more women who are in the same life cycle as me. Anyone notice that weight is a little slower coming off than in the 20's?!?

    I am 37 and mom of four. Work full time and have dropped 25 pounds since May. SW:200 Goal: between 132 and 145. I'll know when I get there.

    Workout 5ish days a week and just progressed to HIIT. Have just pushed through my 2nd plateau. :)
