hello, I am new to this site and was going thru posts and came along yours. I just started the 30 day shred last week. I thought why not try it. It was hard at first but I am getting through it. I will be moving on to the second one next week (kind of scares me). I have 3 kids, a single mom, and teach preschool so i completely understand the whole time issue! I usually don't get my exercise in till at least midnight! It great to meet you and keep me posted on your shredding!

16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? Talk about Fate, maybe someone is trying to point me in the right direction !!

Found this site purely by accident as had googled a question as to what was a reasonable time for a 15yr old to go to bed!!  Got directed to this site and hey here i am.  So I still need to find an answer to my original question but maybe can find some support to now get me onto the right path again regarding my weight.  Since taking on a new family  and stopping work i am rapidly turning into a different person.  I want it to stop but its so hard with 3 children, their overweight Dad, a house on top of a mountain and a never ending supply of food and picky bits which I am constantly being encouraged to eat/make to keep everyone else happy.  Help 11
