Hi, I'm Rebecca, and I'm 38, married to my wife (16 years now!) and we have two sons. I'm not new to MFP but am new(ish) to the groups and message boards. A recent doctor's visit has re-motivated me to try and lose my excess weight, and I'd love to feel (and look) better. If you'd like to add me for accountability and motivation, please do!

My stats:
5'9.5" (that half inch counts!)
CW: 262
GW: 199

I work out several times a week at a 24-hour gym near my house -- I've found that going there at night after my kids are in bed works best for me. And I try to walk between 2-3 miles a couple of times a week on my lunch break at my otherwise sedentary job. I actually love working out but don't do it enough -- and I also love eating fattening food, hence, I'm here.

    I was doing so good yesterday until evening came. I usually have my kids in bed by 9:30 and then I have my evening treat in peace and quiet then go to bed shortly after. But for some reason my kids were being extra stubborn about going to sleep and the longer they were awake the more anxious I got about wanting my damn treat so then I started sneaking little bites here and there and when they finally did go to sleep, I ended up eating double my usual ice cream allotment :anguished:
