They keep me very busy...Plus I am also a head Infant Room Teacher at a Daycare Center, and I work 40+hrs a week:tongue: My life is exhausting, but the extra weight I carry around daily doesn't make it any easier...I am 5'3, and 258lbs:frown: I started dieting almost 3wks ago, and have lost 16lbs:happy: but still have a very long ways to go before I reach my goal!

    My Dad used to say, "Inch by inch, life is a cinch, yard by yard, it's very hard." You may have a lot of weight to lose but you also are going to be gaining so much along the way. I've noticed that it helps to focus more on the little changes in how you feel rather than the long path ahead of you.
