And that is why I am here. I got a nice awakening last week when I found out that as a young parent I am already showing signs of high cholesterol. Not only that I had gestational diabetes while pregnant with my second son. So in other words, getting healthy isn't just about me, but it's about being healthy for me and my famiy. I have been working out for the last couple of months with minimal weight loss. But I am trying to stay positive and keep going. I try and learn as much as I can about exercising and eating well to reach my goal of loosing 20 pounds. I know it won't happen overnight, but some signs of something sure would be nice:0)
