My name is Kathleen, mother of four (26, 23 and 9 yr old twins)... I'm gonna make this work this time - logging what you eat and how you exercise is accountabilty! I have about 30 pounds to lose so good luck to everyone out there.

    Good luck!

    I have definitely noticed that by counting calories it definitely helps to keep you accountable. I know for me personally I strive to hit my calorie goals each day and have only gone over once in the past month (stupid super bowl party). Then adding in the exercise on top of it just helps to seal the deal.

    My girlfriend and I alternate between going to the gym and doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred work out video. We are both happy with the results we've seen so far.

    Best of luck to you!

    I have not lived in Olathe, but grew up just south in Spring Hill and now live just north in Shawnee. I love the area. Kansas is a great state! While in school in Manhattan, I worked with a job where I traveled all over the state from Liberal to Wichita to Kansas City and I loved seeing all (well most) of it.

    I am not fond of the drive from Emporia to Wichita (via turnpike)

    Yeah, that drive sucks. I have driven from Emporia to Manhattan like a thousand times and that is still not as bad. The turnpike is not pleasant but parts of I-70 are tolerable. I love the Flint Hlls!

    Kansan myself . . . Only been on here since Jan 25th and I LOVE it!!! It makes you SO aware of what you put in your mouth, what you plan to put in your mouth and what you want to put in your mouth...lol. . . . .

    My thoughts exactly! I LOVE this site, my body still rewards me, if I watch what I put in it, then it lets me watch it go down! =D

    I'm surprised to hear mentions of Emporia! Which seems to be dying a slow painful death. One business at a time! :(
