Happy Mother's Day and YEAH for you on your challenge! I'm so glad to see you here! I was a big momma. My daughter kept asking when I was going to have that baby in my tummy .... and I wasn't pregnant. My oldest said he just wanted me to be happy. I felt terrible by the example I was setting for my children.  I made it to the other side, and you absolutely can do this - we do not fail by trying. If you need an internet workout buddy to check in on you, answer questions, or even vent when you need to, this is the right place. A safe place. Please do not give up on yourself. Let us know what we can do to help you get to the other side. Blessings and peace. ~Sharen~

How do you follow such a giant! I mean, a personal from the man himself.  Seriously, it's so cool to see you here and you are here for a reason and I know the community welcomes you. You took the first step!  If I may borrow a quote that literally changed the way I looked at myself: "Your past, doesn't equal your future..." It doesn't! You have a new life waiting for you! We're here to help. Peaceful Journies,Al

I also have learned that my kids have learned to respect me because I have worked through many difficult places in my life that I am sure they were as well as I was ashamed. No one and I mean no one will ever be able to take away from you what you work so hard to obtain and transform right before your God and therir eyes!!!! They will learn from you what it takes to never quit and work through difficult times. in their own lives We all have them and is when people like you face your fears and makes the change that you are embarking on that will give hope and stregth to those you care about when they need it.,  You have many cheerleaders now so enjoy the Transformation! I do have to say though I wasn't smiling much myself when I dropeed the vacuum cleaner on my toe before I had a work out planned! I just found another way to work out!  Marty

I am so proud of you to have the courage to join us and I as well as so many here care about you and your health. When I say health I mean your body mind and spirit. You are making the right step by telling the truth. The same truth I realized when my son took a picture of me with his camera and showed it to me and said you are fat dad. I was hurt and ashamed. After I finally said to him Youre right and admitted it . I said I will do something. Then came along Body for Life! and I hope you are watching my story meet Marty Goldman. I am saying this to you not to promote me , but to let you know this is a real ,live, living, truthful story of my Transformation. I am not any differnet then you.

I Am

I am 33 years old and my body fat is 33%!! I look around these boards and see so many happy spirits, people who look amazing and I am sure they feel amazing. I think to myself "Why not me" but I have tried everything diet pills, different diets, etc. I am going to try this program and if I fail I will know it is my destiny to be an obese person. It breaks my heart that my children are embarassed by me. Or when someone walks up to you and says " You have a beautiful face" I know what they are really saying.... More importantly the lifestyle I am leaving for my children. The other day my 6 year old little girl Izzy came into the room and asked if she was getting "FAT", I shrugged it off then my 13 year old son said "HAHA You are going to end up like mom". You have no idea what that did to my heart. My legacy I am leaving for my children is a life full of bad eating habits and absolutely no exercise. I have received my book and journal and powder.. So the excuses STOP here. I am taking my before photos on Monday and I am going to post them so I will be embarassed enough to do it.. I am looking forward to this journey and nervous that my worst fears i will have to face.

My Favorite Charity

Any charity that focuses on Children!!!

To me, Transformation Means

Inner beauty as well as outer beauty. But when you completely feel lost and ugly on the inside it is time for a transformation!!

My Goals

To change the way I feel about myself! To care enough about myself not to neglect my temple. To be a better role model for my children and leave a healthy legacy.

My Intentions

I would like to get to a place a happy place where I am happy with me. Then I would like to help others that feel like me. One step at a time!

Who I'd Like to Inspire

People like me who have tried everything and end up disliking there bodies and end up insecure and unhappy.
