Hello,

My name is Therese. I just found out about this site through a chat room on Provida.com.

What a wonderful support you have!

A little about myself. I have been overweight for a long time now and as I was nearing 40 I wanted to improve the quality and health of my life. I started doing a Curves like program and did get stronger but was still overweight.(actually considered obese!). About 12 weeks ago I took a step to improve my eating habits and started the 6 week body makeover and added weight trainging to my cardio routine. (I am no longer doing the Curves thing).

So far I have gone from weighing 226 to 180 in those 12 weeks and feel way better and healthier.

Also I turned 40 yesterday!

Well thats my story and I hope I will be able to enhance my exercise routine and achieve my goal.

Therese
