Let's get started!

My name is Melanie Wangsgard. This is the only picture of me alone that I can find too. I have been married 4 1/2 yrs and have 2 kids. (2 1/2 yr old and a 1 yr old) I'm excited to finally start this competition! I have been telling myself I'll start it early... but when it comes down to it, I needed someone to be accountable to. I'm doing this for a few reasons: feel healthy, loose weight, and I'm just super competitive! Plus, my major was in exercise and nutrition so I should be the most in shape person right! Ha ha. I'm working on it! The hardest part will be the NO SUGAR RULE! We are also going to Lake Powell and it will be tricky to always eat healthy and exercise for 45 min consecutively. I love to run, play soccer, and do any work out that makes me sweat! My main competitor... DAN JACOBS! He's my brother-in-law and has already lost 14lbs! He's going to be a tough one, but I think I can take him! :) Our family blog is http://www.tymaymadiwangsgard.blogspot.com/ if you want to check it out.
