I'm from UK, London and I got motivated by playing sports! Also being stuck behind a desk at work means I need to watch my health!

    Hello everyone. Currently I am 4 stone heavier than when I met my husband. I gained the weight through 2 pregnancies and suffereing from PCOS means its tougher to drop the lbs. Thankfully Im fully focused and have found Insanity which has helped me shed nearly 20" and have currently lost 2.5 stone since having my second child. Its a struggle, but I am more focused now than I have ever been :smiley:

    Hi all, I am from Cape Town, South Africa. Also have a desk job but have a local guy doing Taebo classes, which does not only entail Taebo but also HIIT and various floor workouts. Hoping to join the local dance classes as well. Mentally I need to focus to stay motivated because I am easily distracted. Invite me, looking for motivational friends. Awesome being here on MFP!

    My name is Jessica, I'm from Arizona! I have been overweight most of my life and would like to lose the weight to feel different and refreshed! I feel that I need this change in my life. I aim to improve my health to feel great and inspire others. I am also motivated by the beauty Mother Nature has to offer, I do not want to let these extra pounds or fatigue slow me down when it comes to exploring and finding myself.
