I may be Editor in Chief of Shape, but I'm also a woman who has always had to work hard for her body (I've never been one of those toothpicks who eats whatever she wants and doesn't need to exercise). I like food (the sweeter and creamier the better!), am always crazy busy (thanks to this job at Shape, a 3-hour daily commute, and two young kids at home), and absolutely need to exercise to stay healthy, fit, and sculpted. So join me on my journey of maneuvering through weight ups and downs, cool new exercise trends, feel-better advice that I've gotten from all the experts we talk to, and much more. Share your tips and your journeys with me and other Shape readers right here too. Consider me your friend and we can get through the journey to health and well being together.
