in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 34 year old mom and wife living in Alabama who enjoys lifting weights, crossfit, and loathes with every fiber of my being, running.

I followed the EAS Body for Life programming and went on to venture in to NPC Bikini competitions and now am a consultant for IsAgenix as well as working a full time job.

My friends love this place and I hope to meet some wonderful people who share in the same goals.

After my son, I was 184 lbs and was able to take the weight off and keep it off for now 5 years (started losing when he was one).

Hope everyone has a fabulous week!

    Hey there! Feel free to add me. I'm sure with your son it has been a tremendous challenge! Congrats on the weight loss!

    Do we have any other people here with children on the spectrum or special needs?

    I don't have any kids (yet), but I work with children and families who have been touched by Autism Spectrum Disorders in the Springfield, Mo area.

    I have a 6 year old that is a high functioning autistic little girl. I also have a 9 1/2 year old daughter that I believe has/is aspergers. My 9 1/2 year old is very high academically, so the school district doesn't help out. My 6 year old is in a SDC and hit her teacher and eloped from her classroom this week. Wonder why I my weightloss is at a standstill?!?
    Feel free to add me. Maybe we can get through this together
