in Introduce Yourself
I've been a member of myfitnesspal.com for a few weeks and did well for the first few days but have since fallen of the fitness wagon, so to speak. I needed some motivation and after reading some of your stories, I feel like I can do this weight loss thing...lol! I have a habit of making things harder than they have to be. Anyway, my name is Jennifer and I'm a mom of two great kids. I live near Atlanta, GA and boy is it hot right now! Perfect time to get into shape so I can put on a bathing suit and swim with my kids at the pool, instead of hiding in my clothes, sitting out of the pool. Wish me luck! :)

    Hi Jennifer! No need to hide in your clothes and sit on the sidelines! I weigh 300lbs and bought a really cute bathing suit from Target that does a good job at hiding those problem zones. Getting in the pool and playing with the kids is great exercise!

    You definitely can do this... we are all here to help you! Good Luck!

    Good Luck Jen. I am just getting started as well. Just stay true to who you are and everything else will fall into place. I dont really Diet just do things in moderation. so far I have not went over my calorie count, now if I can just get into to this exercise thing I think I will be alright. LOL
