Found an excellent funny and motivating read - From Bonbons to Yoga Pants. I couldn't put it down. I would recommend it to all of us emotional eaters. If Lexie can do it, so can we!

Lowest of the low. Someone asked if I was pregnant yesterday. Day 1 - sit ups and push ups. This is a daunting but noble challenge. Thanks for sharing!

Another question for the group... When do sneak in the time to exercise? I'm a full time employee, working on a masters, and a mom of two teens. Lately I have set up an exercise bike and ride that while I read my homework assignments. When do you sneak in your minutes?

I've noticed that swimming is hard to stay consistent with because so much is out of your control. My DH tries but it seems like as soon as he gets in a routine the lap swim times change or a team comes in or they close for a cleaning. Plus you have to actually have enough motivation to get yourself there. Maybe try…

So here's a question... What do you say in your head to keep you from grabbing that donut someone brought to work to share?

Go to the Title 9 catalog for sports bras that "ban the bounce" and still look good enough to wear under work clothes!

Ok. Pity party is over I'm setting up my bike inside tomorrow so I can ride while I read my homework assignments. Thanks to all for the encouragement!

Thank you!!! Great suggestion on measurements. I haven't done that in a while.

Thank you!!! Nice to have support when you need it!!!

Having a pity party here on the bathroom scale this morning. 3 pounds down yesterday and 4 pounds up today. Totally back where I started. 20 pounds over what I was just 3 years ago and 60 more than I should be. Ugh!!!!!!!!!

I decided to eat more fruits and veggies and less refined carbs yesterday and was under my calorie goal for the first time in a week! I'm happy for my small victory.

Please add me too! I forgot to say that on my first post.

Hi. I'm turning 48 this year and I have 65 pounds to lose. I've lost the first 10 a number of times, but I would really like to lose it all before 50. I'm a mother of two busy but not-yet-driving teens with a full time job and going to school. I want this for me and I want all of you to reach your goals too. Let's Do…
