Hi there my name is Jennifer, I am 22 yrs old and this is probably my fourth time starting over. I have been trying to do this alone and figured out I need some support. I am a wife and mother to my 2yr old son. My husband is supportive of my goals but hes not as interested in fitness and health as I am. So I'm just looking for people I can talk and be able to relate to
Thank you and can't wait to get started with everyone!!

You are not alone. I understand how difficult it must be to lose weight. I just joined today and hope that I am able to shed off at least 10 lbs. I am much older than you, but know it can be done. Start with baby steps. Instead of taking the elevator at work, take the stairs; walk at lunch time, for 10- 15 minutes. Maybe even work out for a 15-20 minutes after you put your baby down. Start small and gratually adding a bit more. Girl, you are young and can do it! Good luck to you.

just remember I good it feels when you are better shape .
You have done it before and you can do it again.
For me, when I do get close to that goal, that is when I need to re-set my goals, so I can stay on track .
add me if you wish as friend0 -
Me too! I started today also and just got back from a chilly 30 minute walk! I work full time and have 2 kids also but am trying to embrace the idea that I NEED to take this time for myself! I need to lose 20 lbs!!0
