in Motivation and Support
I was doing so good last year, then I ran into some health problems and everything went downhill from there. I'm now ready to get back into this and into the gym. I have 3 girls and a wonderful husband and I hate being away from them which is why I haven't been back to the gym. My husband is happy with me the way I am, but I'm not. I need more motivation. I need more friends to help me get back on track.

    I understand your delima. When the ones you love,love you the way you are it can cause you to be comfortable. truth is we need to get rid of the extra pounds to me more healthier. Being healthier gives added years to our lives so that we can conitue to enjoy our time with hubby and children. Just last night my 7 year old said "mommy lets workout" i said i already worked out once today. she said "ok you can workout 2 times today" I love her so i agreed. we didnt agree on the workout so she did kiddie yoga instead LOL. So make it a family thing go for walks with the kids. play on the playground ever little helps. You can do this besides we all need me time. women tend to take care everyone else and neglect us.

    Feel free to add me too. It helps me to have people on MFP trying to do the same thing telling me "good job" and for me to do the same for others.

    I can so relate, i am having the same situation and it cause me to want to do more. I found i needed this to take my focus off what i could not control. I can control what i eat and rather i exercise. it is an awesome distraction too.

    I'm in the exact same situation. I have found that working out at home is MUCH more doable. I sent you a request!

    Anyone can feel free to add me as we'll. I'm not new but only recent got serious with my logging. I come on daily and I keep a small group of friends so I can really see their progress and offer them support while getting a boost of motivation in return. This is a necessary life change for many of us on here just to live longer and healthier if nothing else. It definitely helps to have the support of others on the same journey. Good luck to all in your efforts!
