Hi all. I'm glad that I have found this site with so many others who are working towards the same goal as me... losing weight! Just to give you a little info about me... I'm 22 from CT and I just gave birth to a precious little boy on January 8 of this year. I am desperate to get my weight off and to tone my body. I purchased Power 90 and I started it today. As of right now, I am 172 lbs. My goal is 130 and ideally I would like to lose about 40 pounds by mid June. I would greatly appreciate any advice on dieting!

    Hi Ashley,

    You and I have almost the same exact weight goals. The only difference is I did not just have a baby! Good luck!

    Hello! I am trying to lose the weight I gained while pregnant with my son. He is now 2, so it is well past time to get rid of it! Best of luck on achieving your goals!

    Hi Ashley!! :) Glad you joined! I'm Laura...23 from Alabama... I haven't been doing this for very long but I do have a tip!! Find a workout you genuinely like and stick with it while mixing it up!! For example... I like aerobics!! So I do all different kinds, while also walking.... because I really love to walk my dogs! Good luck to you! Let me know if I can help in any way!
