    Hi, Welcome! My son is 18 and I havent lost the weight I gained with him, lol! We are basically doing low carb and cutting out as much sugar as possible. Pick up a Readers Digest this month, it has a good article on diet myths. I need to lose about 89#, so lets stay in touch. I need to be accountable or I wont do it. I have hiding from my high school friends for 20 years, and I put it on FB yesterday that I needed to lose this weight, so the cats out of the bag! I figured telling everyone might motivate me more to do it. So let me know how you do every day, what you eat, and we can motivate each other!! Marci

    thanks everyone...will do! my problem is from 7pm till midnight. I used to just grab a bag of doritos or something like that when i got hungry. then, i found out how many calories i was eating when i did junk like that. right now i am keeping track of everything with my wife and working out.

    i work for a church so i have a gym open all the time to me and i do basketball with the guys 1-2 times a week, then i do p90x with my wife when i am not doing that (sometimes when i am in pain i take a day off haha). i am so sick of having this weight. i have never been skinny and it is about time to do this.

    i hope i can be a motivation as well in all of this. i feel like something has changed in me since my daughter was born and i have never been this serious about losing weight. i need all the motivation i can get, so if anyone needs anything let me know!
