in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, my name is Julie and, like so many of you, I'm trying to lose weight. Live in Michigan with two young children, ages 2 1/2 and 8 months, and (if I'm being totally honest), I haven't felt good about my body since before my first son was born. I'm fairly small, about 140 lbs. and a size 7/8, but I just hate how I feel these days. Want to get fit and finally wear the rest of my wardrobe (which consists of cute, form fitting shirts which I wouldn't dare wear right now). Prb is, I have such trouble sticking with my exercise and eating program. Hopefully, this website will help me. Good luck to all of you as well!

Julie

    Hi, I also have 2 small kids ages 4 and 2. I never wanted to diet or exercise but now that I have been doing it since 1/12/09. I love it.
    I strictly follow my numbers here and go to the gym 60 min. 6/week. They say after you have stuck to something for 45 days it becomes a habit. A good one at that :smile:
    So best of luck to you and everyone else on here.
