Ok so I'm new to this whole board but learning my way around. I figured I better introduce myself in this board! I'm Jessica, 26 and on my journey to lose some weight. Wohooo!! LOL. I hadn't weighed myself all summer and was shocked when I finally did. I had gained like 20lbs! LOL. Wow! But thats okay..it's time for me to work it off :0) I'm keep track of my calories with an add of a wonderful online site (which I wasn't going to before but is super easy!) that helps me and working out in the morning. This morning was my first work out and it was great. I walked and jogged (walking then jogging for like 2-3 mins then walking again) with my niece who is 21 months old! I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed the jogging part! LOL. I also am going to start the Walk away the pounds video this week! I get it in the mail today :0) I love it. It was my favorite when I was working out before I had my 4 year old son!! So I cannot wait to meet everyone here and see all your weight loss and get some great tips!!!

Welcome You've certainly come to the right place. Looking forward to seeing you succeed!

Thanks, I cannot wait to see the weight falling off! I'm glad I enjoy exercising otherwise I think I'd be completely screwed! LOL.

Hello and welcome!! You've certainly come to the right place and I am way impressed at your ability to jog. My knees completely lock up at just the thought. LOL.

I was suprised at how well I can jog. I do have a bad knee, but as long as I keep moving it doesn't hurt or affect me much. I got injured 2 summers ago and I tore 2 ligaments (one in which helps support your knee to stand! LOL) and was off my feet for a good 3 months! Gained 30lbs (after losing 25!! err) and didn't get back into the exercise mode again. I find in colder weather I tolerate jogging/walking better. I don't seem to lose my breath as easily. I'm not sure why!! Thanks for the nice welcome
