The beginning.

I will start off by saying welcome to my blog! I am a first timer and I am just getting used to how this all works. However, one thing I am experienced in, is losing weight, helping others lose weight, and of course sometimes gaining the pounds back.

That is where POUND IT! comes into play...

I am tired of the yo-yo diets. Whether it be myself, friends, families, or people at the gym with a Diet Coke and cookies with them on the treadmill, (yes, that happens).

So, I feel as if it is my duty, with my passion in nutrition, and my wanting to help others, that I begin right here, right now.

Not only will I be giving advice, recipes, and tips, but I will also be following them myself- hey, it's only fair, right?

My goal : 10 pounds in 2 months. What's yours?
