I got married months ago and I guess I got pretty comfortable with my life for the last year (leading up to the wedding and now post wedding).... not focusing as much on exercise or eating well..... and so I now have gained back 20 pounds of the weight I had lost.

It is hard to eat healthy when there are 4 other people to feed and their interests to consider (My husband has 3 daughters) ...

Today is my first full day on here. I am hoping that it will help me keep on track!

    Congrats on being married. I know where you coming from with gaining weight you lost once you got married. I got married 4 years ago and a year after getting married I got on the scale and saw that I put on a little over 20 lbs. I've been on and off with trying to get the weight off for the longest time. I decided to try to lose the weight in Sept 2008 but found out that I was pregnant with my now 14 month old daughter. My heaviest weight was 210 once I had my daughter. And when she was 8 months I decided to make a change to better myself. I know it can be hard when you have a husband or others to cook for but it can be done. If you don't want to eat something different just try controlling the portion size that you're eating. Since starting working out in Feb 2010 I've lost the weight and am in better shape then I was when I got married 4 years ago. I know that you can do it. They say if you do something for 21 days straight it'll be a habit. Good luck on your journey

    Thank you. It is definitely harder to eat healthier when you have 3 kids (who are not as willing to try something just because it is new) and a husband. I am doing exactly what you said. I am also trying to be really strict with myself during the week when I have more control over most of my meals and then a little less strict on the weekend.

    I am looking forward to weighing in tomorrow to see how my first week has gone!
