Hi! My name is Sara. I am going to be 31 in July. I am very short in stature coming in at 4'9 & 3/4" I have two children. soon to be 8 and 5 1/2. I have been married almost 5 years together for 11. I have been a yo-yo dieter since I was in high school.
After I had my children I found it much harder to lose weight and the pounds kept packing on. 2 months ago I really saw how I looked and broke down crying. I weighed in at the heaviest I have ever been at 141 lbs. With my short stature it wasn't good.
So I started making changes little by little. First with exercising everyday to 10 Minute Trainer. But I modified it to go slowly. 10 minutes for 2 weeks, 20 minutes for 2 weeks and 30 minutes for two weeks. Then I started some yoga off of you tube for a week and now I am doing Turbo Jam. After 3 weeks of starting I changed my eating to more of a clean eating because I really wasn't seeing results. After the first week of clean eating I started seeing awesome results.
So now my focus has been getting my workouts in every morning and eating as clean as I can. But I am still human and know I will make mistakes and will need help and Motivation!!! Plus I love to help and give support!!!

Hey, Sara! I'm brand new to this group too!
The thing I love about these groups is we can keep each other accountable! I think eating clean is the toughest thing sometimes too. Even tho I follow a vegan diet- there's still sweets and wines and peanut butter sandwiches... I could work out all day, but it's the staying clean all the time that's the tough part
Hang in there and nice to meet you!0 -
It's nice to meet you too. I am actually the opposite. I can do the clean eating no problem, it's the working out that is tough for me! I actually LOVE the clean eating. It is so simple and tasty for me. My family on the other hand not so much. There are somethings I make they will eat but other times I make them something completely different than what I am eating because I won't sacrifice my own progress!Did that for far to long, lol!0

Hi,
I just joined as well. For the most part I eat clean. The snacking gets me. I go to classes at Lunchtime but I don't think it's enough. Trying to add Power Walking/Jogging on some nights and weekends.0
