Hi, I'm a mom to a very active 2 year-old daughter, a full-time graduate student and I have a part-time job. I didn't gain much weight while pregnant, however after the pregnancy I've found I have little self-control when it come to sweets and portions. I joined MFP a while ago and logged for a little bit, but I was recently with a group a friends and we took a picture and i could not recognize myself. I am done with being complacent and I decided to start fresh toward a better life style. I plan on eating more balanced meals consisting of mostly fruits and veggies and working out when possible. I've read some great things about Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred so I'm thinking of trying that. I don't have a great support system physically where I live, but I do have some great friends who try to give encouragement where they can. I could definitely use more encouragement and support and I would be happy to provide the same! Feel free to add me as well! :)

    I know what you mean about photos! It was a recent photo of myself that made me realize I needed to make a change. I started wondering where that extra weight around my face came from and it was awful. Shredded my self-esteem. Good luck to you!! I am sure you will do great!
