I have been a stay at home mother for over 20 years..my two oldest are in college and my youngest is a junior in high school. I am in "decent" shape, but have steadily gained about 15 pounds over the past 15 years, and would LOVE to get back to the weight at which I felt best. I am also an avid tennis player, and as I get older, I need to get in better shape to protect my knees and joints, and not carrying as much weight would certainly help. Problems I foresee: I love ICE CREAM and SWEETS!! One of my daughters is also going to join the team, and before she goes to study abroad in Bath, UK, hopefully, we will both see results!!:)
