You are SO welcome!! I am glad this group has helped you!! The motivation &

support here are incredible!! I love it!!

When I decided to ''do something'' about my health and weight (around fall of

last year) the first thing I did was wean myself from MOuntain Dew which I

knew would be a HUGE problem. So I ''faced'' that alone from around Oct to Dec.

After Christmas, I got very serious and started paying attention to what I ate

and making an effort to exercise. I joined this group about a week or two

after I started and it has been my inspiration in so many ways. When I first

began exercising I could do maybe 10-15 mins of a 30 min Tae Bo tape. Now I do

an

hour and weight train the same day and do Yoga on alternating days!! ME!! Who

avoided all type of physical activity almost my entire life!! I have come a

longgggggg way with the help of this group and plan to go the distance with

WLB!! 107 lbs gone and counting!!

Whew..this wasnt supposed to turn into ''all about me'' but I just wanted to

let you know you are not alone in thinking this group is ALL that it is

cracked up to be...and more!!
