So hi! Everyone, I am new to this whole excercising thing lol. I am currently doing Zumba 4x a week along with walking.
I am VERY motivated, I had something very life changing happen to me recently and it made me realize that I can't sit around. And that I should be doing something with my weight.
I m looking forward to putting myself first for once and watching as the pounds melt off, since I've started doing Zumba I have already lost 2 pounds :-)
How is everyone else?

    Everyone always preaches "diet and exercise"... and for the longest time I'd do one or the other and see some results, but not what I would hope.... but this site has really got me in the habit of doing "diet and exercise".... and believe it or not... it works! Good luck!

    I am so with putting self first.... what a thought?!? So much of my adult life has been about my children, its time for me! As my daughter is home from her first year of college, she has helped me realize that there is more in life that I need to discover and that the only thing holding me back is me! It's my turn!

    You can do it! You are on the right track, keep up the great work.
