Introduction and call for advice

Miss Karen · 05-24-2009, 02:29 PM

Hello. I just joined this site today because I need inspiration.
I am so out of shape and nothing in my closet fits.
I am 5'3" and 132 pounds.
My baby is 9 months old.
It's time to quit making excuses and get strong.
I feel good at 110.

I am so flabby and the cellulite is almost to my knees.
We recently moved from sunny Florida to dreary Tennessee and I don't get out much.
Depression makes me eat more.
It's a bad cycle.

This weekend I had some before pictures taken because I need to see what I look like.
I am mortified.
I just don't like who I see in the mirror and on film.
I am 37 years old. It's now or never.

So I hope to be posting some before and after pictures in a few months.
I want muscles and I want endurance.
I have been inspired by the pictures and I thank those who have gone before!

What are some tricks of the trade?
What do you use for inspiration?
I would love advice from all who have BTDT.

Thanks - Miss Karen

Hi Again,

I don't really have any advice to give, as I'm just beginning this journey myself.
Just wanted to say, I admire you for taking action now. I so regret, not doing the same when I was 20 pounds over my ideal weight. You can do it!

Moving from Florida to Tennessee must have been a shock. We do have sun, this May has been an anomaly, but hopefully summer will be nice and hot for you.

I'm going to start doing the 100 pushup challenge and the couch to 5 K challenge. Want to join me? Here are the links - one hundred push ups
