Hello everyone! My name is Katie. I am 27 and a full time college student in Illinois. I have 2 daughters. Cheyenne is 3 1/2 and Emilie is 6 months. I gained over 50 lbs with both my girls. I am unfortunately now at 180 lbs on a 5'2" frame. Which, needless to say, is not good. Not for my self esteem and not for my health. I have recently tried the Slim in 6 program and the Firm. I am a sucker for infomericals and unfortunately believe in them. My latest investment is in the Flirty Girl Fitness series. Hopefully this will work better than the others. Any advice and support will be gladly appreciated. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
Hi Katie!
You must have your hands full with those 2 precious girls! Sounds like you're back on track and ready to get started - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help choose the right ones for you and get through the ups and downs.
There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.
I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.
So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
amk2010~I havent received it yet... Should be here within the next few days.
Lee~Thanks for the welcome... Looking forward to getting in better health, not just for my looks, but for my health... Whoever said that toddlers help keep you skinny was wrong! When she eats ice cream, I eat it with her! But she' lucky... She's got metabolism and energy like I have never seen before.
Hello All! New person here!
Happy Holidays!
