Hi, My name is Lynn and I am hoping to lose about 40 pounds by June of next year. I need all the motivation I can get and want to help motivate others so we can travel this journey together to success!!
I struggle with food temptations horribly, mainly sweets, and I work a lot of hours and do not fit in exercise. I have 4 children to manage as well, so life is very hectic but I need to be in my best shape to have fun with my kids and take care of myself!
My oldest daughter graduates high school in June and how cool is it that her and her friends want me to come to beach week with them! WOW, I feel so honored and its a big motivator on its own, but somehow, I still fall back to the sweets thinking i have plenty of time. Not true, I dont want to just lose the weight quick, I want this to be a loss I keep off for good.. The trip is just a jumpstart to get me there.
Looking forward to meeting everyone
