Hi everyone,

I'm new to this and am starting with a lot of fat to lose. I'm a 30 year old wife and mom who has been overweight for too long and am going to do whatever I can to change it. Getting off my butt and working this off will be hard but it's worth it. I'm hoping to lose 100lbs by June of 2013 and to do a 5k before the end of this year.
Has anyone else had success losing this much?

Thanks and looking forward to chatting with everyone.

    Hello everyone. My name is Monica. I'm a 26 year old mom of 3 children. 2 boys and a girl, ages 4, 2 and 8 months. I have been trying to workout for a long time and I have no motivation. A couple of days ago, I was watching the commercial of insanity. I have seen it before, but really watched it this time. I then decided that i was going to order it. I told my husband that I wanted to lose this weight. I have had 3 kids and I'm a stay at home mom and I don't really do much. I wanted to do this for me. I want to lose at least 30-35 lbs. I know that I can do it, I just have to really work at it. I should have my insanity dvds in a couple of days and then I'm going to start them. The only thing that I have a little bit of trouble doing is eating healthy. i like all this junk food. anyone have any suggestions on eating better? I love chicken though. I can eat chicken everyday. I have changed my eating habits a little bit, but i still need to work on it more. Thanks. I look forward to chatting with you guys.

    feel free to add me. I don't have 100 left but by the time I end I will have lost about 150#. I always need more support and motivation.
