Welcome!!! :flowerforyou:

Hello all. My name is Jennie. I decided in November of 2012 that I was done with my body and health the way it was and committed to changing it upon the new year. I thought that if I started then, I would fail due to the hollidays. It was a good idea! Beginning January 1st, I have started the challenge of becoming the real me. If that makes any sense. There is this beautiful person inside of me waiting to come out. It has been a really long time since I felt pretty. I've decided that it's time for me! I love my family and my work, but it's time to give back to me! By doing this I hope to challenge my family in taking charge of their own lives.

I know exactly where you are Jennie. I felt the same way in January of 2010 when I dedcided I was tired of being on the weight loss roller coaster. I committed to a program that helped me to lose 30 lbs in my first 5 weeks. I went on to lose 65 lbs in 11 months and have been maintaining going into my 3rd year now. This site has really helped me to stay on track throughout my maintenance journey. Wanting to focus on your true authentic self and get healthier is an awesome step to take! One of my mantra's is Decide-Commit -Succeed! I commend you on making the decision to invest time in "you". Commit to investing time and energy to achieve your goals and you will succeed!! Stay connected to the communities here. They really help to propel you forward. Your family will begin to see your transformation and want to get on board with you!!

WELCOME!!!

Great to meet you! We can all do this together x
