Hi! I'm Alyson and I am {gulp} 30 years old. Being thin is something I said I'd always be, but lately I see the pounds creeping up on me. Suddenly instead of a size Medium shirt fitting me, like it always has, and a large being a tiny bit tight, I find myself leaning towards the XL. I don't want to accept this weight gain as my fate. I am in charge of my destiny, and just because I am now {sigh} 30 years old, I don't have to accept that age brings weight, because it doesn't. The truth is, as I get older I get busier. I have less time to think about exercising, less time to think about what food I am putting in my body, less time to fight my kids about eating the healthy food I put in front of them. So this is my last stand; my fight for my life so to speak. You will be amazed to see my transformation, this I promise you.
Hey! My name is Jenn and I'm 38 years old. I am a mom of 5 children (1girl and 4 boys) ages 15 to 4. I love music, family, photography, learning, exercising (when I find the time), and eating good food. I would really like to be a runner (5k and 10k). I told my husband that my Christmas present to him this year - 2011 - will be to get as healthy as I can. (You should have seen his eyes pop out of his head in anticipation of me at a smaller size.) I am tired of this constant weight struggle, I want to be done with it here and now, but I do recognize that I have to be patient and consistent and then I will see results. So I am up for the challenge!
Here's to us fitting into our dream jeans by Christmas! (Feel free to join us!)
