Hello! Excited to start this...let's hope it works!

Hello, I am new to the site. Just joined with my sister and cousins and we are all looking to loes some weight and get healthy again! I am definetly not new to TRYING to lose weight but am in need of better motivation to get back into shape. I did get to my goal weight back in 2007 for my wedding, but with happiness and a new baby (6 months old!) the weight has made its way back. Now I have weddings I will be in for June of this year and my goal of wanting to fun 5k's and half marathons and just be fit to tackle. So far this site seems helpful, but I'm still new and checking it out so if anyone has good tips or want to share certain things on the site that have helped them it would be much appreciated! thanks for reading my intro
