So, I've been at my current weight for about a month or so, I'd lose a pound or two, gain it back, lose it, etc. I realized that it is due to family dynamics, lack of others being motivated. Well, I asked my mom last night if she would like to take a walk with me. My brother-in-law overheard, said he would like to too, and then along came my sister and most of their kids. I realized that if I try and push them to lose weight with me, they'll resist (most of my family are overweight), but if I just ask for a simple walk, we can get somewhere with weigh-loss with my family. Well an even bigger NSV, we got home from the walk and my mom wanted to do the Ripped in 30 video with me, and my sister's kids joined it. They all want to keep going with it each day, so we shall see what happens :). Looking forward to updating everyone!

    Family in on it is great! I was doing situps this morning, and my 4 year old son was being my cheerleader. So cute! He'd hear me say what number I was on, then would say "Yay! 37!".
