I have NEVER been one to get all excited about diet/exercise...but i HAVE to do SOMETHING!!! After Eli, I had a hard time losing the baby weight, my dr ended up prescribing adipex, took all teh weight off PLUS, i was thrilled. i stayed my "ideal" weight of 135-140 pretty much, until i got pregnant this last time. i miscarried in march and haven't lost a single pound since. in fact, i've gone UP and it's depressing that the jeans i wore just last week are so uncomfortably tight on me now. i need to drop some weight and SOON! i'm going to "try" to do this. i will weigh in here for motivation--

today i weighed 160. BLAH!

You can do it! You can I know for me it is just about making my mind up that this is my life and not making an excuses for myself. Oh and take pics of yourself and measurements, seeing those numbers change is such motivation! Good luck!!!

You know, I am always taking pics of myself and then when i put them on the PC, i look at them and delete every last one. i HATE looking at pics of myself like this!! ugh. it's depressing!

I know, I hate photos of myself too even now when I am 13lbs from my goal weight. I am down from 180 to 148 and I still hate my pictures. I see every last flaw. I see the rolls or double chin and get so depressed. BUT when I see a pic of me at 180 and compare it makes me feel better. Maybe take a few pics of yourself and leave them on the camera. Then in a month take another set and then take them off. At least then if you are compelled to delete them you can see your progress before you do.
