Nice to meet you, Hannah!:)

My name is Beth and I have two kiddos (Gianna-4 and Michael-2). They are both June babies born 2 weeks apart but they both had the same due date. Guess I know when I'm most fertile, huh!

My husband and I just celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary and we have been together for just about 10 years. He is an Army veteran who now works as an auto/heavy equipment mechanic. I work for an educational software company.

I enjoy running, lifting weights almost all sports. This summer I would like to join a softball league or get back into boxing (I was part of a boxing league in college). One of my other passions is baking. I love decorating cakes and cupcakes and creating recipes. I've done a few wedding cakes and lots of birthday/special occasion cakes. Where I'm from it is quite difficult to license a home baking business so at this point I don't make a profit and just share my creations with friends/family, but someday I would LOVE to start my own bakery. Luckily my favorite snacks/treats are salty food so having sweets in the hosue doesn't really bother me.

Our daughter is involved in figure skating and loves it. We are looking at getting her involved in music lessions soon because she has shown interest in learning an instrument. Looking forward to all the fun activites we get to do now that the kids are older. Keeping my health and energy in check so that I can keep up with them!

Looking forward to learning more about you all:)

Hi!
My name is Adriana. I am a stay-at-home mom to 3 kids.
Eden - 4 (almost 5)
Taya - 3.5
Ronan - 1.5

My husband and I will be celebrating our 7-year wedding anniversary on March 1st. He works from home 4 days a week so it is very helpful with my workouts (he is my "squat rack" for the time being until I start lifting heavier and we can find one for a decent price).

I have decided that 2014 is going to be the year to try and get my body in the best shape it has ever been in. I have been trying to get my workouts in on lunch hour while my oldest is in school and the younger two are napping. I have also done a 30 day Paleo challenge last year and am trying to incorporate more 'Paleo food' into my whole families diet. I am trying to slowly eliminate the processed food from our house but it is tough! Right now I am done the first week of Focus T25 Alpha phase as well as I have been following the StrongLifts 5x5 program since Jan. 1st.

We can do this indeed!

Hi Ladies, I am Robyn, 29, and I live in a very isolated community in the Great White North. DH and I have been married for 8 years, together for 12. We have 2 children, DS 10 and DD 6. We are also a foster home, so we usually have another child residing with us as well. We also have 2 Lab Retrievers (4 year old Chocolate and a 2 year old Black).

I work 12 hour shifts, alternating nights and days. DH works full time as well. Both my children are in piano lessons, and DS is also in a Brass Band at school. DH and DS are big hunters and enjoys being out on the land.

When I am not working, I am usually undoing the damage of me working long hours ie: cleaning up the mess from DH and the kids. I love to sew. For exercise, I usually walk or hike in the summer/fall, and because I live way up North, I have just recently taken up skiing, and maybe I will give snowshoeing a go! We do a lot of snowmobiling as a family. I also attend Boot Camp 1-2 times a week, depending on my work schedule. Hoping to get back into running when the snow is gone, maybe in June.

For the most part, I am just about done losing weight, a few more pounds would be ok, but if not I am ok with where I am. I would like to get back into my strength training I was doing on my own, but I can't seem to get the motivation back to get into it. Hopefully soon. I have very limited weights to use, and space as well.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

We are finishing Alpha today & start Beta on Monday!

Hi

My name is Jolee, I am north but not to North, more like central Alberta. I am a working mom of 2 children 7 and 5, finally I am making time to work out 6 days a week. My husband and I have been married for over 8 years and together this Valentines for 15 years.

I am turning 40 this year and my goal is truly to look fabulous at 40, since I have had such a low self esteem about myself and low body image since I turned 35.

Hello Ladies!
I am Darcy and I live in North Dakota with my husband of almost 5 years and my 3 kids, ages 14, 9 and 10 months. I have been a self employed, massage therapist for 17 years and I will soon be semi-retiring. My husband is also self employed and needs the extra time to work his job so i have to take on more with kids and house. Well, NOT really more, just don't have to work my job nearly as much. LOL

I have always had extra weight and right now is the skinniest i have been that i can remember!! :happy: But there is still more to go. I haven't exercised in almost 2 years and just started up again and am loving how it feels. I was lifting and running before the last baby but it was a hard pregnancy and am just finishing breastfeeding (this weekend, i think) so it is time to get at it again! I started 2 - 30 day challenges of planking and squats on January 1st and this week started jogging again. February, i will start a Jillian video along with some jogging.

So happy to meet you all! Anyone can friend me, we all need support during the challenges and changes we will be going through!

Hello Ladies!!

My name is Portia and I am a mother of 4 crazy and beautiful children 10, 7 and 4 year of twins. I have been on my weight loss journey since June of last year and although I have only lost 16 pounds I feel so much better and have a lot more energy. I am currently a sahm but I am looking for part time work.

To get control of my weight I am eating clean and tracking calories. I also workout 4-5 times a week. I want to lose 30 pounds. I am not focused on putting a time limit on this goal because I just wanna focus on one day at a time.

Please feel free to add me as a friend and also follow me on instagram @newlifefitgirl. I look forward to getting to know you all!!!

Hello everyone.
My name is Lori. I live in Pittsburgh, Pa., and am a stay-at-home mom to three daughters ages 7, 5, and 3 and a large German Shepherd. Each of the girls just had their birthday (they are each about 24 months apart)... and it hit me that in 3 years since coming home from the hospital the last time, I have not lost a pound in spite of doing WW here and there, doing boot camp, running a few 5Ks, etc. Problem is that I start a weight loss journey, don't lose much, get discouraged and quit before things really get started. And I have a thyroid disorder so weight doesn't fall off easily. But I have 50 lbs. to lose and it is time for a change. Recently, my husband and I joined a biggest loser challenge at a nearby gym. So far each of us has lost 3 lbs. I am hoping to keep up the exercise and make many lifestyle changes (forego the wine!) to continue to lose. Good luck ladies!

We are freezing our butts off in MN - anyone else in the tundra??

I'm in Iowa!! I feel you on the freezing your butt off...:grumble:

I'm in Wisconsin...and am ready for Spring!:)
