in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone, I am Tara, I live in Southwest Arkansas and am the mother of a 14 yr old son.
I have been heavy all my life, but having a very active teen had made me realize that I need to get into shape just to keep up with half of his schedule!

I would love to make friends and hopefully find a support system. We can keep each other motivated.

    Hello, Tara! I'm Chanel, and I also have the goal of getting fit and more active to keep up with my kids. I'm only 21, but I have two children under two years old! My 14mo-old daughter and my 7wk-old son. I definitely understand the difficulty to exercise when you're a mother, whether it's because you have a teenager(s) with a busy schedule or because your kids are simply so young.
    Feel free to friend/message me for support, motivation, advice, discussions, accountability, or whatever else you may need! Mommas on the path to weight loss definitely need to be there for one another!!
