    I'm all for accountability and motivation but honestly, if that switch isn't turned on for you to make that change, nothing anyone has to say will help. Trog is completely right.
    I spend way too many years knowing what I should be doing and not doing it. I wasn't ready to make the change. And now I am here, doing what I can to make those changes. Everyone can use a pick me up, but if you aren't ready to do this for yourself and for your family, no one can make you.

    Hi Nikki,
    Thats why i'm here also accountability. My first reccomendation for you is post a picture of yourself. It takes the anonymity away Yikes! No more doing this anonymously. But it works if you feel like people can "see you". Also get some friends. Good luck!

    If you can't do it for yourself.. or for your kids... why do you think that internet strangers are going to be able to do that for you?

    You've been on here since Nov 2012, full access to a forum full of people that provide success stories, tips, and help.

    We can't do it for you.

    This is why people come here, to be with like-minded people of the same hopes, dreams and goals. It doesn't hurt anyone to be supportive. She can go to youtube and facebook to get negative feedback. pooh pooh.

    Losing weight is a lifestyle change. It's a change only the person can hold themselves accountable for. Other people can support her, yes, but can anyone make her change or hold her accountable? No.

    ETA: Geesh.
