    Hey Guys! I am a personal trainer and I would LOVE to help motivate everyone. I am NOT one of those people that has been thin all her life. The truth is...until 3 years ago I was 50lbs heavier and wouldve laughed if you called me thin. I have lived through it. emotional eating, yo-yo dieting ,and I can tell you...It is NOT an easy journey, but it is one the YOU MUST TRAVEL!- MsLean66

    Try to set up a goal for yourself. For example- I want to run a 5k by the end of July and I want to do it without stopping. Make a goal to excercise 4x per week. It can be anything where it makes you breathe like fast paced lawn mowing, brisk walk. jog and walk, treadmill. Just get it in and don't worry about how long or how hard for now. Just work on making the goal and it will add self confidence.

    I have been overweight all of my life. Even when I have lost lots of weight and have felt good I would still be considered overweight according to the bmi charts. I am doing this for me know. I don't care about anyone else or what they think.

    Good luck and keep working it.
