My name is Liz and I am a 31 yr old wife and mother to 2 beautiful children. I am also a Army wife. My husband serves with the Ohio Army National Guard and will be deployed next week for a year to Kuwait. I am starting this diet and exercise program for 2 reasons. 1. to be healthier to be here for myself, my husband & my kids for many years to come 2. To help focus my time and stress into something healthy. I figured diet and exercise is a good way to battle stress. On top of this I am also a hairdresser and I work behind the chair 4 days a week. I will do this and I will be a happier me! I hope I get to meet some of you and we can all get to our goals together. Good luck to all of us!

    Hi, Liz....I just joined today as well...maybe we can keep up with each other. I'm a stay at home mom of four and I am tired of being tired and not fitting into the clothes I have in the closet. Plus, I'm sick of weighing more than the hubby! Good blessings to you on this journey....hopefully we will both reach our goals!

    Awesome first step in joining! I love it and it totally gives me a positive thing to focus on and gives me realistic control for the first time in a long time over what I'm putting into my body and what I am expending(exercise wise) Welcome and good luck! God Bless you, your husband and family!!!
