HI backatcha! This is a great site - with even greater people (at least that's been my experience). I've sent you a friend request - we can all use some support & encouragement along the way.

Welcome to the site. I joined months ago - but just became active a couple weeks back. The site is awesome - the people are even better! I just turned 50 this past April & figured there's no time like the present to get back into some semblance of shape.

Welcome! I've been actually using the site for a couple weeks now - and absolutely love it. The people are wonderful & the tools are invaluable. Looking forward to sharing a bit of this journey with you :-)

Hi there! You have my prayers - and support (a couple of things we could all use :smile: ). Feel free to add me as a friend, because I could sure use some of those walk this "road to wellness" with me too.

So, just as your other muscles will stretch & shrink, so will the those that compose the stomach. This is actually one of the…

Hiya! I'm another newbie & I thought I'd offer you a bit of encouragement. It is hard, doing the single-mom-thing (I raised 2 boys on my own until I remarried 11 years ago, when the youngest was 16) - and time is a very precious commodity. It takes a bit of creativity - but you can find time for a little here & a little…

Hi there! I'm another newbie, so I thought I'd offer you a little encouragement from a fellow struggler. You can - WE can - do this!

Hibackatcha! :smile:

Hi MIchelle, I'm another newbie, who also happens to be a full time student - so I more than understand the time constraints (and what sitting in front of a pile of books for hours on end studying can do to your waistline). It's gonna take some creative time management - but you can (we can) do this :-)
