Well I've just booked flights for my family to the Gold Coast in March next year, so I have till then to get small enough that I don't need a seat belt extension and can put my tray table down without cutting off my breathing! And so that I can go on the rides at the theme parks and generally have a fab time!! I can do this, lord knows I need a holiday and I want to do something fun with my kids before they get too much older, I've put off the fun for long enough!

    Sounds like a great goal - a wonderful family vacation. Maybe post a picture or two from your destination on your mirror or inside of a closet door as a daily reminder of your goal. Good luck!

    One must remember that its not a battle you are trying to win, its a war. Take it day by day and you will be alright. I find it best to tweek 1 or 2 small things in my life at a time. Once I get used them I add in a bit more. I started by working out with free weights once a week, then twice.. then after I got into a habit of it. I added watching calories. once I got that down consistantly, I added fasting for most of the day and only eat dinner. I am not suggesting you do what I did, I am just suggesting if you are making signifigant life changes, it has worked better for me to phase them in. 1 or 2 weeks at a time.

    That is a great idea! I'm going to put them on the door infront of my treadmill to give me something to focus on!

    Thanks for the suggestions, right now I'm doing great and I'm not going to add fasting into the mix, it's just not for me I would end up on a binge, I need this to be sustainable and liveable for me.
