Hi! I just joined too and am finally serious as well! The best advice I can give is: stay persistent and motivated! It's always my downfall when I lose motivation and then stop what I'm doing.
Hi Amy and Kimie! This is a great place to help you with motivation. As you browse through all the forums and threads, be sure to check out the sub-forum "Chicks Up for a Challenge" under "Support Groups." There are lots of threads on there that will help hold you accountable and keep you motivated! Good luck!
