Hello From Michigan!

Options
Hello! I am a stay at home mother of five. I also have a small hobby farm. A girlfriend ChellieIrish hooked me up with the website and I'm loving it! I am about 90 pounds overweight and have maintained this weight for over two years.... it's time to say goodbye to it! I signed up for a local Weight Loss Challenge, a 12 week program to be the biggest looser, I think I can do it! I understand exercise but counted calories and balancing a diet was something I could never do. I am loving the calorie counter here though and making good use of it. I will be grateful for any help and support, I've been assured there's some fabulous people here! Looking forward to meeting you! Dawn :flowerforyou:

    Hi, chellieirish put me on to you , I've been on here for three months ish. I've not got much weight to loose but the bit of fat that I do have is a real pig to shed so I thought if I can hit it from all angles then I could be on to a winner. Well like I said I've been on here for three months ish and still have that bit of fat but I have learnt soooo much about nutrition and exercise ( I'm gym rat and recently a cyclist) from this site and the great people on here. I hope you achieve your goals and if there is anything you would like an opinion or advice about then just give me a shout : ))
