I started JM 34 days ago as a way to slim down before my daughter's wedding May 30th. I'm about 20 lbs heavier than I would like, but more than weight lose, I wanted toned arms and abs and was finding it more and more difficult as I creep toward my 50th birthday (March 29). 

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto with chronic hives last summer, but went on a non processed food plan about 3 months ago and the hives have not returned! Still, though I take Synthroid and find it very difficult to lose any weight. I've lost only about 3-4 pounds. 

However, it took only 2 weeks before I could do my very first ever in my life PUSH UP and I was hooked. The next thing I noticed was a WAIST where there wasn't one before! 

I'm excited about this contest and hope I can lose a few more pounds even though I feel so good now AND look more fit (and I can do a PUSH UP!), that I can't complain about a thing!
