Dropping by to introduce myself

Hi everyone! I'm Cindy, and i'm new here. I have enjoyed reading the motivational post, and the recipes, and I love the success stories! I have already posted a few replies to some topics, and thought I should properly introduce myself.

So I'm a wife and mother of two boys, ages 9 & 10. We are homeschooling right now, and we are loving it! As far as my weight goes, I have been gaining and losing the same 10-15 lbs. for years. I am not very toned, but i'm working on it. My goal is to lose 15 lbs, so far i've lost 3, and I want to tone up and feel energetic! I am a vegetarian, but make mostly vegan meals; I still eat yogurt and eggs occationally. I will eat cheese sometimes, but it is one of my weaknesses, so I try to keep the calories down by cutting out cheese whenever possible. I like to cook, and I rarely eat out. For exercise I often use workout tapes (Jillian Michaels, Element Ballet Conditioning, and some Kundalini Yoga). When the weather is nice, I like to go walking. I think that's it. I am looking forward to this journey!

    Hi Welcome! How do you like the Julian Michaels tapes and such? I've heard mixed reviews. Does it work for you?

    Hello, my name is Gideon and I am in it to win. Last year I lost 60lbs and I gained it all back. I am refocusing to lose the weight again and to make good health a lifestyle for the rest of my life. I have alreay lost 15 lbs in two weeks using this program. Please don't ask me how but I have been eating under 1500 calories a day and exercising intensely. Please, don't do what I do!!! I am glad to be apart of myfitnesspal and looking forward to a long life of healthy living.

    Hi there! I have mixed feelings about the Jillian Michaels tapes. I'll start by saying that they work!!! Last year I lost down to 133 (from 146) by snacking less, cutting out dairy, and working out with Jillian. However, I hate doing the workouts! They are intense, and I'm a weakling. I had to make myself do them each day! I am doing them about once a week now and doing the other videos during the week, I will work my way back to Jillian. It's a love/hate relationship :) The ones I have are, "Yoga Meltdown", "Fat Blast Metabolism", and "No More Trouble Zones".
