Hi There, you sound similar to me. I'm 47 with two beautiful girls too and my weight has been stuck! I'm about to start week 3 of the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution so I'm not giving up yet. I do feel like inches have been lost even though my weight seems to be stuck. I hope the next few weeks of working out will trigger some downard movement. I have been very focused on eating better and discovering/trying a lot of healthy foods that I never would have touched before! I have a Trader Joe's near me and have been going more often and checking out stuff that's never been on my plate. I just had a Blueberry Bran muffin for breakfast and looking at it you would think it would be gross but I actually enjoyed it. Also bought some tofu for the 1st time in my life and now have to hide it in a meal that my husband and girls won't know what it is! We will see how that goes!!
