    Hi! I'm new as of today, too! I'm a 34 year old mother of 3. I work full-time and am persuing my Master's degree in School Counseling. A lot on my plate but I'm ready to make changes and become the healthy, energetic person I once was. I love to exercise and I love good, good for you food.
    I just heard this the other day and it has stuck with me - " No one said it was going to be easy...but it WILL be worth it. " :smile:

    Welcome =) My name is Wendy, I'm also a Momma, 42 yrs old and just really excited to be getting into the heart of my weight loss efforts! I look forward to helping others through the process.

    I use several tools in my weight loss efforts. I am still fairly new to MFP and I really like this one in its simplicity. I am also a coach for Team Beach Body International (P90X, Insanity and others...) and I am pursuing my Certified Fitness Trainer Certification through the International Sports Sciences Association.

    I don't share weight loss advice without it being backed by personal experience though....to date I have lost 118 lbs since my youngest was born 4 years ago. It has been a really bumpy ride, but it has made me really appreciate, the struggle, the desire and effort that goes into a personal change and I really enjoy helping others ....just to help. So while I might occasionally suggest a product or something else to try, I don't hard sell anything. Everyone needs something different. Welcome again and if you need anything at all, feel free to ask :)

    Wendy
