We are two ladies, born 14 hours apart, now living 1600 miles apart, both struggling with weight loss. The Knitter lives a fairly tech-savvy lifestyle full of apps and gadgets. Megamom lives a more rural lifestyle, full of lakes and trails. Both of us have lots of distractions: Megamom has 10 kids! The Knitter has...a very large cat. Both of us can make a long list of things that keep us from eating well and working out, but we both want to change that - with the unique tools that each of us has.

We're not competitive at all. No. Not us. At all.

My intro

Hi, I'm Megamom. As the description says, I have 10 kids and Im blessed to be a stay at home mom. Our life is never dull around here -- busyness abounds as well as the dreaded stress monster. I began my weight loss journey in August of 2008. I reached my original goal weight in August of 2009. I had lost 33 lbs! Mostly from counting calories and doing the couch to 5k program. It taught me to love running. Fast forward to today -- I haven't lost the additional 10 I had planned to lose and I have gained 10 lbs back. This is not the direction I wanted to be heading. I found myself becoming complacent after reaching my initial goal weight. Pretty soon the excuses were coming fast and furious. Its time to turn that weight train around! My exercise of choice is running and I hope to run a half marathon this fall. Im also hoping to do some biking and learn how to do some boxing as well. I love to encourage others as they journey on their own paths, so please check in and let us know what you are up to!
