This my first time doing Michelle's program, and even though the round hasn't actually started yet, I'm loving it! I'm similar to you Lulu in that I can come up with any excuse under the sun and make it a perfectly valid reason for why I've eaten poorly/not exercised/generally gained weight. I was laying blame everywhere but where it belonged - with me.

The latest pre-season task was good - making a commitment. I've gone through my excuses and goals with DH, I'm now accountable to him to see this through. Previously I'd think "I want to eat better, exercise more and lose weight" but if I fell off the wagon it didn't matter because no one cared. Not even me really.

But now I have encouragement and support from DH and Michelle through the site which I really like. I just pretend she's doing her little speeches directly to me and it motivates me to do better. I'm also holding myself accountable to DD. I want so much better for her, but how can I expect her to eat right and be healthy as she grows up if she has a crappy role model?

I'm really keen to get the meal plans because our dinners are boring and not always healthy. I'd love new healthy ideas for all our meals.

I've started today with the warm up challenges and just getting my mind right. I feel great! I'm tracking my food and exercise on a phone app, drinking loads more water, and blocking out my lunch break in my work calendar so I can go for a 30 minute walk each day.

I guess I could have done these things on my own and without the cost, but I feel like this makes it so easy and exciting, it's all laid out for me and there's constant motivation. So yeah, if you're seriously considering it, I say get on it!
