Jazzcat- Guns? You have GUNS? That is awesome!!! sigh....I remember I had guns, once...


Julie- I might be the only person that had GAINED weight at their 6 week post partum visit. So, that you have lost it all, plus some, speaks volumes about your commitment to a healthier way of life. Way to go.

Robilee, nothing good comes easy. I am saddened by your comment that you might not be here as long as you could be, because of your weight. I know you have triumphed before in the eyes of a serious medical condition, so, I think you just have to focus on your will, NOT your ability. One pound at a time, even if it takes you 6 weeks to drop that one pound. Each pound that you take off is a step towards a longer, leaner and healthier life. AND sometimes we need to see the loss before we get motivated. For me, planning is the way. I can't just come home after work and grab what feels good to eat. I have to say, "tonight, I am having this". AND, I have to make time to exercise. With a toddler in tow. Start right this moment- even if you are at work- go take a two minute walk. Really. And, if you are home, logged on to PT- take the girls and go walk ten minutes outside. Even in this heat. If it is raining? Put on a cap and go. Do twenty sit ups (I would put the girls in another room...lol). Like the Nike slogan, "Just Do It".

And, keep us posted.
