Hi! I have struggled with my weight since pregnancy and a nasty divorce from an abusive ex. I'm lucky to be with an awesome guy now who's taking me to the Mediterranean for a couple of weeks in February. I know it's just a short amount of time (about two months) but I want to do as much as I can between now and then to improve my endurance. I'll be participating in a lot of demanding activities! Help me! Let's help each other! -Fran d9drpln0kqoe.jpg

    Hi Fran!

    First, your pictures are adorable!

    Second, i think you can accomplish a lot in a few months, it's encouraging that you don't have a number in mind but just a general goal of being able to do more.

    What do you like to do now and what would you like to improve in? Do you have access to a gym? It may be helpful to give a few more specifics in order to get advice that is likely to work for you.

    thanks!

    Thanks! I have a very small home gym. It has room to workout. Equipment includes an elliptical, a yoga mat and small weights. It's got a tv with gaming systems and internet access for YouTube and other places where I can find work out videos and so on. Nothing fancy. But I'm definitely someone who doesn't like to work out in front of other people haha... I also have 4 sets of stairs in my house! I enjoy dancing. And I have lost a little weight doing it. But I don't know how much it's helping me with strength and endurance. I'll be spending hours climbing steps while I'm in Barcelona and again in Italy. Thanks for your reply!

    Please feel free to add me! I have struggled with my weight since a car accident a few years ago that made it so I couldn't walk for a while. I'm back in the game now, and I want to lose 60 lbs by the end of the year. I'm looking for motivated people who will help me stick to it! :)

    Also--dang, those are some cute outfits. Teach me! :smile:
