I just joined this site...so far so good. I don't have much to lose, but it's the last that's the hardest. I've been trying to lose the last 10-15 pounds for about 2 months now. The main problem I have is sticking with it. It's getting cold outside and I am doing less. I would hate to have to wait till May to start...I want to look good by then. I have a Gold's Gym treadmill, a weight gym, Yoga Buns, Hip Hop Abs, and I live in the country.....so it's all there I just need to use it. The other set back I have is Hubby...he is always bringing in chocolate, junk food, and eating snacks in front of me which sometimes makes me want a snack. Also I am a stay at home mom so I get bored during the day and look for "quick food". I'm trying my best to not give in....going good for the past few days. I do have comfort in knowing that when I do finaly hit my goal I will be able to maintain that weight. I started a year ago at 193 and am currently at 140...so I know I can do it (all done in the summer). It would be better if I had afriend to go with...but oh well...no one in my town is interested. Good luck to you all, and happy holidays.

    Thanks. i need all the help Ican get right now. Winter is upon us and it's hard for me to get outside. I guess I should suck it up and put more clothes on and just go. I have the treadmill, but it get's boring. Plus there are days I just don't want to do anything (part of my illness). It's nice to know I have a support group.

    Hi my name is Julianne and I am a 26 year old mom. I have a difficult story but I am willing to share it. After the birth of my daughter in June 2006, I struggled to get back into shape. Having been in the Navy for 2 years 8 mos, I knew what kind of discipline I needed in order to get my body back to normal. While struggling with weight loss and an eating disorder, I sank down to 110lbs. Soon after this I kept hearing that I looked "sick". In November of 2009, my husband introduced P90X into our lives. He has been doing this program since. In June 2010, I started my first round of P90x, I got through my 90 days, gained about 20 "good" pounds of muscle and strength, and am now living a healthier lifestyle. I got awesome results with this program. After my 90 days, my husband and I have decided to try for another baby. I still work out everyday but take it slow with the exercise programs. I just started TURBO FIRE and I am looking forward to seeing some great results! I am also happier than ever and have an awesome Coach...he is my husband.
