Background

When I Started: Jan 2005
HOW I STARTED:

I got started in Jan of 05 after the birth of my 3rd kiddie.I went into serious depression and was told that working out would help. I couldn't even walk on a treadmill for 15 minutes, or I'd fall over. Now at that time I weighed 180 lbs. Ever since then I have taken very few days off, and I love it.

WHY I LOVE IT:

It definitely helps me keep up with my kids, and I love the fact that I can toss my 9 year old boy around. Staying fit also has helped with the self-esteem.

SLCstrangler
SLCstrangler I don't know if you've ever heard of Nu Skin, but in your quest to keeping yourself looking great you may really like the products. Check out the Galvanic Spa at aaronr.nsedreams.com These products shouldn't be a secret to the select few out there who actually care about their health and appearance. Keep up the great work. :) nsoverview.com Apr 24, 2010 5:08pm
