Starting from the Bottom...and I'm trying to stay here!

My battle with my weight after having two kids is just one that I can't seem to win. This time I hope to turn things around. I started back exercising strong last week and I'm hoping that I can stick with it. I see so many people around me that are sick because they did not keep up with their health. I want to do something with myself so that I can see my children live and enjoy life. I'm walking/jogging so far but I just can't get myself to do resistance training. But one day at a time is all I'm asking for.
