Hi! My name is Heather. I am a wife and a parent of one daughter, Rylee who will be 17 this month. Rylee is extremely active in sports, basketball, volleyball, track, and I want to be a role model for her.
Sept 1 when I started my journey, I was about 100 pds heavier than I was when I had Rylee. I decided that I needed to get healthy. Initially I was doing it for Rylee. But, once I started, I realized that I had to be doing it for me. So, that's what I am doing. I walk in the morning and evening (if I am so inclined) and have started doing exercise videos on YouTube. I am watching my calories, cut out Pepsi (I could easily drink a 6 pack a day before this), am drinking tons of water and have also started taking Plexus to help jump start my journey. I am not sure how long I will be able to continue Plexus due to the monthly cost, but I know it has helped me get started.
I still have about 70 pds to go to get to my "goal weight" but I know I am on the right track. I have been trying to get my husband to do this with me too, but he isn't ready yet. When he is, I will be there to support him!
Rylee does the exercise videos with me and when it is nice walks outside with me. She has been a great support system! On days when I just "can't", I talk to her and she does whatever it is I am doing with me, so I can.
I hope I can be a support to you Andrea!!1 -

Hi I’m Emily, I have a 2.5 year old daughter. I gained about a stone before having my daughter and was lucky to mainly gain water weight when I had her, so was able to get back to my pre pregnancy weight within about 6 months. I maintained at that for about a year, until covid hit and we started working from home. Since then I’ve binged and stress-are, formed a bad relationship with food and am now the heaviest ive ever been. I want to get back to a healthy weight, exercise regularly and have a healthier relationship with food, so I am at a sustainable weight. Being lighter, healthier and fitter, I can be happier and confident in myself, to be a better and happier mum and girlfriend. X0
