Let's get to know each other. I'll start.

[JillyRev]

Just making a quick intro to myself. 42 years old, Australian living in the US.

I have been lifting for many years prior to having health problems that have kept me out of the gym for the last 3 years and added almost 100lbs to my weight. I've got a long road to get back but I am ready to commit to getting it done.

I was a member of quite a few boards for many years. This is my first time on MD but, my husband I have been subscribers to the magazine for years. Looking forward to getting some new information and inspiration from these boards and getting back into what I love most, throwing some heavy weights around.

woohoo welcome

Hi ladies! im new here. My name is Ginger. Im 35 and mother of 3 kids. One teenager and 2 grade schoolers. Divorced with joint custody. So every other week i have time to focus on me. Lol. But I do get time to workout during my weeks with my kiddos too. I lost abou 70 pounds a few years back. My body was a disaster after i let it go during 2 miscarraiges followed by two back to back pregnancies and breastfeeding each child at least 15 months. After my kids were weaned and not so needy of me physically i started focusing on myself again. It feels great and with my families history of obesity, heart disease and diabetes im in this for the long haul. Not to mention im just plain obsessed as my "normal" friends say. Lol. My biggest hope is that my kids will pick up on my healthy habits and follow. As of now its a struggle to get my teenager to eat healthy, but i hope he will eventually fall back on the foundation of health i am trying to build for them. Its very hard in this day and age to feed kids healthy and get them to actually eat it. Especially when the medias version of healthy is not your version. Its got to be my biggest challenge. Sorry about the long story. Hi everyone.
