		<description>I&#039;m in as @ginkgo100! I have some sort of mystery illness that has me practically narcoleptic. Actually, after some reading I even considered the early stages of narcolepsy to be a possible diagnosis. Docs are thinking it&#039;s something else, thank goodness.

Have discovered just in the past week that if you take the incredibly difficult step of admitting to your friends that you need help... they will respond in a way that overwhelms you (in a good way).  But it&#039;s so hard to ask and then so hard to accept it once it&#039;s offered. Why is that?</description>

		<description>I will! I&#039;m new to Twitter too and had to ramp up quickly to keep up with colleagues. These links helped me get going:

		<description>I&#039;m in. I&#039;m trying to lose weight and get fit. I bought a bike recently and I&#039;m trying to put at least 100 miles a week under my belt.  So as to make the belt smaller. See what I did there? ;)

I&#039;ve stalled on weight loss and yesterday started a food diary again just to make sure I am #backontrack. I&#039;ve been burning 1000-1500 calories at least 4 days a week, but I added in too many calories, so I wasn&#039;t making the progress I wanted. Getting #backontrack is exactly what I need to do.

I&#039;m @stark23x  on Twitter. CONTENT WARNING - I am a potty mouth, and although I try to talk about my fitness stuff a lot, half the time I am probably talking about a porn star&#039;s hoohoo or how much I want to punch someone in the face or how the guys at my gym are very, VERY comfortable showing me parts of themselves that should be limited to their proctologists.</description>

		<description>What a great idea, thanks for posting! I’m SO on board, as long as y’all don’t mind a relatively new HomeEc reader joining. (if so, someone DM me on Twitter so I don’t butt in and embarrass myself!)

I&#039;m @NorthPhxAgent

@heathersolos and @imabug – I’m with you on getting #backontrack with running. Turning 40 this year makes me realize it’s now or never. I want my 40’s to be fit and fabulous, not wheezy and schlumpy.</description>
