New here and loving it so far...

I started my program yesterday. I am in a program at the Veteran's Hospital for all women, it is to teach us a new way of life. They told us about sites like this one. I thought I would try this site and see how it goes. I have enjoyed reading posts and blogs on this site. I even started a blog. I hope I do well and stick with it. I am sick of being out of control with my weight and exercise. Good luck to everyone and I hope to get to know some of you out there to help each other out and exchange info.

    OMG! P90X is so hard! I can't do it yet because of my recent back surgery. The Shred one sounds interesting too. Good luck!

    Yea I heard p90x is really hard. my hubby is gonna do that one. I'm gonna start off with the Shred and then work my way into P90x. I need to be pushed. I have this huge cyst in my ovary and sometimes it bothers me so tomorrow I see my doc and hopefully I will get the ok to start my program.

    I hope all goes well at the doc tomorrow. Do you have to have surgery for the cyst?

    ***update***

    My doc said I can exercise. She said nothing too extreme so I guess P90x is out for now. But I'm doing the 30 day shred. If it starts to hurt around the cyst area then I'll stop, but I'm focused.
