Hey....I just started this. My name is Alex and I have decided to make that change. I've been doing it in all aspects of my life and feel like this is one of the main things I need to complete the trend. Being someone who has always been the "super athlete," I have totally lost myself during my transition into the real world after I graduated college. I am a new teacher and need more energy during the day and so forth, so why not start during summer vacation! Woo! I am excited and love encouragement, if not, I will thrive and feed off it the most to ensure success! How do we help each other out here?? By the way, Nice to meet you! :)

Nice to meet you too!! You sound fun. Full of enthusiasm. That's the way to do it!!! You go girl.

Hi Alex! I'm Laurie (laurangels) and saw your post. Everyone has been so nice and supportive and funny too! Feel free to friend me if you'd like. Have a great day!
