in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm a 28 yr old wife and mom. I am heavier than I have ever been and I am hoping with this app I can stay on track. I never seem to be able to stick to a diet plan. I recently bought a treadmill hoping that I would make it easier for my busy lifestyle. We'll see how it goes!

    I recently bought a treadmill, too. I've found myself still trying to make excuses to not get on it but it's a lot harder for me to justify avoiding it when it's only 10 feet away haha. So, what I tell myself is "Okay, I'll get on it and if I'm miserable after 15 minutes, I'll get off." That hasn't happened yet. What I find is that I finish my full workout and walk away with 400+ calories burned. Always feels good and like an accomplishment. I wish you the best!

    Thanks so much for the encouragement. I feel embarrassed because I started really really small doing 30 minutes each morning before work only burning about 150 calories. I told myself I'll work my way up....

    You will. As your fitness level increases and endurance builds, you'll start to feel stronger and more confident. It won't take long. Next thing you'll be looking in the mirror as your body is transforming. You got this.
