I'm JO!

I'm Jo and I am pregnant with my 3rd girl. :) I have been super busy with being a mommy and a student. I am wanting to do this challenge because I have never before been craving this much junk food with my last two pregnancies. I feel a constant need to eat and don't crave the healthy stuff! I'm hoping that this challenge will help me to keep my food choices under control. I did Cassidy's challenge when I was pregnant with my last daughter and it helped me tons! I can't keep gaining weight at the rate that I am or I will have gained more this pregnancy than with my last two.

I have tried to start all the goals on my own without the challenge but i have realized that without the group support and the competition I can't resist the junk food. This is my biggest weakness right now and I need a serious challenge to get me back on track. Hopefully more people will join soon. I would love to start!!! :)

Arizona

Hi Everyone!

My name is Hannah. I live in San Tan Valley, Az. This is the most recent picture of my husband and I. I really hesitated to put it up, because I hate pictures of myself. My face is especially swollen that day due to eating food that I know I'm intolerant to. It's so difficult to stay away from things you've always thought were healthy for you before! My most difficult foods to stay away from that I am intolerant to is dairy (I've always loved cheese), black pepper (its on everything!) and gluten. The other 30 items I've been able to avoid pretty easily. I'm excited to start the challenge- I could really use some direction in my life and something I can take control of. It'll be great to have the accountability that comes with doing this challenge as well, and since losing both of my jobs as a dental hygienist, I have been blogging a lot- so you'll probably be hearing a lot from me! I hope you join us!
