http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Fat_Cat_Bride I don't write as often as I'd like to, but it's there anyway

I think initially I wanted to see what kind of results I saw within a 3 month period but I did have a realistic goal of 12 months. Both of those timeframes have now been thrown out the window and I'm focusing more on positive, healthy lifestyle changes rather than short term gains that will probably be unrealistic and send…

I was always very skinny for my entire childhood, as well as throughout my teenage years. I got pregnant at 21 and packed on the weight (about 75lbs) and within 5 months of giving birth found myself pregnant again and so it all went downhill from there.

What are these whey protein shakes that you all keep mentioning? Call me stupid but I'm new to all of this diet / exercise stuff and still working it all out.

I love this! I am the same. I've given up making excuses.
