in Introduce Yourself
Six years ago I lost 40lbs on Weight Watchers and exercising. Since then I've had two beautiful little girls, a desk job and no time to exercise for myself. Now that my youngest will be a year in August I've decided enough is enough. I need to do this for myself and my children. I only have 20lbs to loose this time to make my goal "happy" weight. Time to kick this booty into gear! :wink:

    You can do it! Six months ago, I did not think I'd be where I am today. My son is 17 months and I also have a 5 year old. It took me a whole year to get from 165lbs to 150lbs, but then in january I decided to crack down and really try to get my body back. I added pilates to my strength and cardio routine and I really improved my diet. I have lost 25lbs and gained so much muscle. I feel great now and my eating/exercise habits have become second nature. I feel physically bad when I eat bad food now. I know it is harder for working moms, but I'm sure it's attainable.
