Hi y'all. After gaining 50 pounds the last 5 years, I am going to try to get serious and lose it. I think it was the shock of seeing the "real me" in pictures compared to the way I thought of myself.
I am a mom of 4 (ages 2-16), and I provide chidcare in my home to 3 other children parttime. I do not have time to go out and join gyms..honestly if I did I am sure I would be too embrassed to go. I recently bought Zumba Exhilerate dvd set and hoping to get some motivation.
I love to eat and I am pretty lazy. I find the hardest point in the day is not to "graze" while getting things ready for the kids. :
Hoping to get some ideas, motivational support and hopefully make some new friends.

Welcome, I am new too and need to lose at least 50lbs. I wish you luck and hopefully we can both find support. :hug

Welcome to you as well Girlvet. How are you going about losing the 50 pounds? Good luck to you! Hopefully we can have some fun while losing.

Welcome to the forum. Many people LOVE Zumba. I have the videos too and I am just too uncoordinated to follow them. I bet your kids will love to dance to them with you!
Best of luck! It can be done.
