in Introduce Yourself
Hi there, I'm Nicole, and I'm unhappy in my own skin.

I feel sluggish and lazy way too often. My jeans don't fit like they should, I'm wearing way too many stretchy shirts (to hide my stomach region) and I don't feel comfortable in my own skin. That, my friends, is not a pleasant feeling.

After years of somewhat trying to lose this weight, after having both my children. I have finally gotten serious. Yes, 2012 will be my year. I'm so ready to say good bye to "mom" jeans and wear some hot, skinny jeans and form fitting tops. I'm ready to start feeling truly comfortable in my body. I'm ready to get my mind and body into physical shape.

I hope you'll join me on this journey together. I'll share what I've found to work for me, track my progress, share my story and also hopefully keep you entertained a bit. :)
Here is to a GREAT year filled with some getting into shape and having some fun!

    Hi Nicole, I feel the same way. I just had a baby 3months ago and hate the way I look. I cant even fit into any of my pre-pregnacy jeans yet. I cant find anything in my closet that fits anymore!! UGHHHH! Im giving myself a challenge to lose 10-15lbs from now till Christmas. Hopefully we can all motivate each other and help push each other in the right direction.

    I believe a lot of women like us feel unhappy in their own skin, even though we shouldn't feel that way and just be happy with life in its self. :)

    You are on the right track! At the expense of sounding trite, the hardest step is the first step. Your commitment to yourself will show in your results. I look forward to walking with you on your journey.
