Hello all. My name is Wendi and I am a 33 year old, mom to a 6 year old son, who works full time in a very stressful (but enjoyable, wierd i know) job. My job is a lot of desk work which isnt helpful. I have gained almost all my wieght back that I lost almost 3 years ago for my wedding. I know they are just excuses and I am to blame but it has been hard getting motivated. I was restricted by the doctor a year ago do to feet trouble which lasted almost 6 months. I couldnt run, walk or barely stand so I pretty much gave up. I am feeling much better now and ready to get this going. I started yesterday and although my choices were better than normal I should have left off the turtles and did more excersise. lol. I am just glad that i honestly logged and here again today for day two. Bring it on.. I would love some friends for motivational help if your interested :)

    Hey, I am 44, mother of three and am about 5 foot 3 and weigh 157. Want to at least get back to 140 by my birthday in may. I am a radiologic technologist so I am not alway sedentary. I am so disappointed that I have let myself get to this point. Stress, kids, excuses, all of the above. No matter I guess. Loved watching biggest loser for motivation. Bob harper once said, "talk, talk, talk, stop talking and just do it." Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. Lol. Good luck

    Hello! Feel free to add me, as well! This time I am not going to give up. My job lets me move around a lot, but with bad feet I tend to sit more than move. That also comes with the weight I've gained. Have 60lbs to lose and am making this my last restart. I lost 40lbs before, so I know I can do it. Good luck!
