I have been away from this site for a long time now and I am ready to get back into the swing of things. I just recently gave birth to my 4th child. A girl this time :) and I really want to make the changes that I have been telling myself I am going to make for years now. I was doing really well exercising just before I became pregnant and since my pregnancy's are always high risk I had to cut out anything that wasn't necessary. I was barely able to go to work. My sister is getting married next month and my goal is to fit into a dress that I have had hanging in my closet for just about 10 years now. It's a beautiful dress and I think it is time to dust it off and dazzle my friends and family with the body I know that I can have. I do suffer from hypothyroidism which means that I have an underactive thyroid, which makes me extreamely tired most days on top of having 3 kids ages 5, 3 and 3 months. I am tired of making excuses and I am ready to make the change. I'm looking to lose about 100 lbs by summer of next year. Wish me luck :)

    Good for you! I am still trying to get a handle on this myself. I'll add you. I've noticed everyone really supports each other. It's great if you really commit to it. I'm still working on that part.

    You can do it! I am only 23 and I have been battling with weight since high school. Once you get into the mind set its "easy" lol Things that have worked for me...watch movies with girls working hard and getting pumped. G.I. Jane is one of my favorites. Also, Keep pictures of yourself from a thinner time around the house. And I find that small work outs are more manageable. Instead of working out for 30 minutes or an hour (which would prolly be hard with 4 kids) run in place or up and down the stairs for 10 minutes. You will feel amazing after. Keep the motivation!!!!!!!!!!
