    The first step is always the hardest. I think there has to be something that touches you deep down to truly motivate you to keep going with an exercise/food change. You sound like you have a wonderful husband, you'll get to where you want to be! I was an all or nothing mentality too. I have gained and lost the same 40 pounds IDK how many times. I never really tackled my food before, I always just worked out - a lot. Now I am tackling food and getting that sorted and moderate exercise. I wish you luck on your journey! Feel free to add me, I am always looking for more people to partner up with to make this happen! :)

    Hey girlie! I'm proud of you. I read this whole post and thought, "Good for her!" And then I went and checked your profile and realized who it was. So, I'm replying to let you know that I'm with you. Now I'm going back into hiding while I figure this place out. =)

    I have been taking baby steps too. It hasn't been easy but it hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. I have lost 17 pounds so far in the 4 months I have been here. I love this website and all the people who support and encourage me even when I have a bad day. Send me a friend request and we will take baby steps together. I love logging on and seeing friend requests.

    That is such an inspirational story! You have great motivation, and it's great that you have your husband's support. Good luck to you! I know that I struggle with the same problems of being on and off the band wagon.

    Good Luck!

    Like all great journeys, you have started by putting one foot in front of the other. Welcome to MFP and I'd be happy to offer my support to both of you!
