Hi everyone,
I've been a lurker here for awhile, but this is my first post. My name is Amy and I live in Ohio.
I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm excited to be joining the forums. I have five children, ages 8, 6, 3, and 11 month old twins. Before kids I was skinny-fat, then after having my first son I kept 20 pregnancy pounds and got pregnant with #2. I then lost all the weight from the first two pregnancies doing Body-for-Life, but got pregnant with #3 and ate everything again. I lost that weight with diet/exercise once again. Then I got pregnant with the twins, and due to complications was unable to exercise or be on my feet much at all. I gained 60 pounds and am still working on losing the last 5 stubborn pounds (maybe after weaning the twins they will come off easier, or maybe I just need more cardio!). Anyhow, I have always been an on-again, off-again exerciser, but now with the twins approaching their first birthday, I am ready to get even more serious with the clean eating and working out. I've been working out with Cathe since April (although making the time with infant twins and 3 other kids is a challenge, I've been working out 5 days per week most weeks), and my muscle definition that is emerging
is motivating me to continue and stick with it for life this time. I own over 60 exercise DVDs, but Cathe is the real deal, I am finally seeing real results and will stick with her, I love her! Anyhow, I just wanted to say how happy I am to have found Cathe and these forums, I truly believe I can and will have a better body after five kids than I did before kids if I stay consistent with her workouts, and that's exciting. Thanks for reading this
