    Hello, Everyone!

    My name is Kim and I live in Cape Coral, Florida.

    Chocolate and french fries are my weakness. -- Not together! (Wait, hmm...unless it's french fries dipped in my chocolate Frosty.)

    I've never been all that motivated to get in shape or eat healthy (LAZY!), until my younger sister (who is 40) had a heart attack in early January. That scared me into taking control of my health.

    Since I'm relatively new to exercise, I'd had to say I'm really enjoying Jillian Michaels' workouts. Even if I think she's trying to kill me some days. :)

    I'd really like to start strength training this year. In fact, I've just requested New Rules of Lifting for Women from my library.

    My biggest trouble spot, like so many here, is definitely my belly! And I would say I like my legs the most.

    For 2012, I'd like to continue to eat healthier and get toned. I'd like to finally get rid of that squishy belly and tone up all over. I wanna see some muscle definition when I strike my "bodybuilder" pose. (heehee)

    I'm so glad I stumbled upon this group.
