Hi everyone!! I'm new to this but am excited to have a network of support. I'm 24 and from Minneapolis, MN. I officially joined Curves today *yay!*. I've been doing the Turbo Jam DVD's but I figured joining a gym would finally get me motivated!

This is the first time I've ever taken the initiative to better my body and life.... it's long overdue....

Any advice, tips and support is more than welcome!!

Thanks!! Excited to be here!

Hi there! I'm Amy and I'm new on here also. Looking for friends on here too! I hope to see you around in here...

Thanks Amy!! Nice to meet you, I'm Joanne

Have you figured out how to use everything on here yet? Trust me, it's confusing! Are you trying any certain diet?

Welcome to the site!!

Thanks RN BSN!

Yes, Amy, I've done two full workouts down, two days in a row (*yikes!*) and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.

As for the diet I gave up drinking pop (Mountain Dew was a major addiction) and and really cut back the "empty" calories. I've also been taking CLA, green tea and a time-released multivitamin. Once I get into my routine more I'll start up on the yohimbe. A good friend of mine is a professional strong man so he's been calibrating my vitamins so they work best for me and my needs. Kind of nice

What about you???

I'm still trying to figure out where to start. I have really let myself go this time. Where did you find time release vitamins? Sounds like you got a plan girl! Keep up the hard work
