Hi to everyone! I am a 30 yr old mother to a beautiful 18month old son! I am currently a stay at home mother, while my hubby works. I am back to my pre preg weight, but same old same old, uncomfortable with my appearance, and body shape. I want to become the fit healthy woman that I have been hoping to become year in year out! About 4 years ago I entered the body blitz, and didn't omplete it, my friend however did complete it, has kept the weight off, and is now a PT! Anyway this time I want to do it.. the whole 12 weeks! I nearly completed a 9 week couch to 5km program in September, but got sick and went downhill from there, when I only had 2 weeks to complete:(, I never finsihed my 2 weeks, instead I just run when ever I can, but it's not consistant. I can currently run 15 mins non stop plus more if I pushed myself, with the running pram, I want to be able to complete 5km. I also have a mountain bike, with a trailer for my son. I have an exercise ball, hand weights, boxing bag & speed ball, jilliam micahels dvds, a small sculpt ball with dvd, pilates and yoga dvd and skipping rope,a playstation 2 "kenetic game" (if I get desperate), so I really don't have much of an excuse to not be able to exercise, apart from making time for it and been consistant! I have a pool close by and allot of places to ride, and walk and run! My biggest hurdle is food... I eat big portions and can never stay focused on healthy eating, and less snacking. The last few days I have stopped eating everything my son doesn't eat, and did well over christmas with not over eating. I don't drink allot so it shouldn't be an issue for me! We plan on having another baby in 2010, so i want to be fitter and healthier before I cooncieve :) I hope to make pals on here for insperation, and I will try and give you all some back! Thanks for listening Catherine

well with 6 weeks and 3 days to go, i have mixed feelings. my exercise is going well, I run 3 days a week, up to 28 mins, after one more I go to 30 mins, (c25k program) I do weights 3 days a week. My food is good, I was tracking using Calorie King, but this week I haven't as it was doing my head in, so I just started noting it all, but have now stopped that too. My food scales broke! grrr I am eating well, and I am very concious of my deisions. I have a protien shake, but only on my weights days. I would like to fit more cardio in, but don't always get around to it. This week I have spent many hours doing hard gardeing which has been good, I had a ride planned today with hubby and son but he woke after us, I met m=with my mums group friends, ate my gr***s not the slice on offer! (i didn't even look at it) then my son napped, I did weighst then we waited for the in laws to visit for the next 5 hrs, and only one turned up at 5pm! GRR!!! Anyways on Sunday my measurements were 2.9kg down, and 15cm down. My legs have got very skinny, and I am beginning to see SHAPE in my body. I ahve to wear belts with new shorts I got in Nov (bday present) and my jeans, also tried on a top I wore in 07/08 and it fits again!! I have had a few binges, on a chocolate bar and extra food that I didn't need like olives and semi sundried tomatoes, but I wouldn't say it has taken me over 1500 cals, and if so, not buy much :)
