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 wanted to share the story of Joseph Kenney, a runner from Omaha, NE who suffers from Restless Leg Syndrome. Joseph wrote to Shape about the importance of setting and achieving goals and overcoming obstacles.
