Not me

in Introduce Yourself
So I am sort of new here, haven't posted much. I am 36, a mom of 3. I am 5'4" and at 204lbs now. I look through here and read the success stories and I SEE how hard work and perseverance works for so many people and I am amazed. But as amazed as I am, I can't think of how it could be me. No, not me. I will never be thin. I will never be toned, or have the motivation to do what I know I need to do.

I am hoping to find motivation here. I find I work better when I have a place to go and talk to other people in the same situation. I have been going to the gym for 2 months. I started at 214, and am now 204. I am happy about it. I was sick for 3 weeks recently, so that was 3 weeks of not being at the gym. I am working on eating better, have been tracking it here and have been making better choices. I started incorporating weights in my workouts and have met with a personal trainer for 6 weeks. I couldn't afford more, but she gave me so much help. I am loving spin classes and do that 2 times a week, and go to a Les Mills BodyPump class once a week.

But I feel like I need to do MORE. I wake up early and think I will go for a walk and maybe start to jog in increments, but here in MA, it is still freezing.

I need someone to kick my butt. I hope people here can keep me motivated.

    Hi!! I said the same thing and decided to just jump into this site and try it out. Slowly but surely I started to see and feel the results that I thought were so hard to come by. I look forward to my workouts and being on this site. People here are really supportive and offer good advice and are willing to help you out. Given your progress already I think you are off to a great start, this site will only help you further. I'll be your cheerleader should you need one, no problem.
