Annawan, IL I ordered TMT last night. I am a working mom with a 12 year old daughter and two teenage step sons. My daughter plays competitive Soft Ball as well as school sports to include Volleyball, Basketball and Track. The boys both play football, basketball, track and baseball. I travel for work overnight about 60-70% of the time. With all of my travel and trying to keep up with the kids, I struggle to I ordered TMT last night.

The boys both play football, basketball, track and baseball. I travel for work overnight about 60-70% of the time. With all of my travel and trying to keep up with the kids, I struggle to stick to a work out regimine.
Last year I had finally found a workout partner and a schedule I could work with. I started walking 3-5 days a week, in the early morning before work (and before I started travelling so much) and I felt great! I really started noticing a difference in my energy levels, my health and my body.
In November, out of the blue, my daughter had a Grand Mal Seizure, which completely changed our lives. Come to find out she had been suffering from absence seizures for about 6 months. After many tests and suffering from another Grand Mal Seizure, she was diagnosed with epilepsy. This completely changed our lives.
We went from having semi-independent children to now having a child that we could never leave alone. After my daughter had her seizure, I stopped walking and put a lot of emphasis on her disease. I could not leave her alone now to walk in the morning, as my husband leaves for work a little after 5 AM. With my travel schedule and the significant time the kids athletic activities take up in our life, I have very limited time to fit in exercise. Occasionally I catch some time for a walk or hit the treadmill at the hotel when I am out of town, however, sticking to a routine has been extremely difficult.
I saw a TMT informercial lying in bed the other night and I thought to myself..."Why can't I do that? I can take the on-the go workout cards with me when I travel and I can do the 10 minute video at home so I don't have to leave my daughter alone, all, without the huge time commitment taking me away from other activities. And when I have extra time, I can add on additional routines."
So, here I am, I've ordered it and I am really looking forward to starting a new program that fits my life. I don't have my before pictures yet, but I will take them before I get my DVD's in the mail. I currently weigh 160 lbs and am 5'7". My goal is to lose 20 lbs. I look forward to using the 10 minute meals as well, as we are always eating on the go. I hope that this guide gives me the tools I need to reach my 20lb goal!

I was watching a slide show of pictures from my daughters softball games this past summer and came to a picture of me in shorts and a t-shirt. I remember the tournament the picture was taken at and I remember feeling ok about myself, I never really felt too overweight. I knew I was heavier than I've ever been, but, realty did not hit until I saw myself in that picture. That picture made me see myself in a totally different light. I actually looked chunky and unhealthy. I've always went up and down in my weight, but, never felt like I looked like I did in that picture. I was horrified. I am even more horrified that that image of me is burned on a disk that is suppose to bring happy memorie.
