Someone asked what kind of plan we have to lose the weight...
As a family we have decided to stop eating out, stop the junky/processed stuff (we don't eat that much of it anyway), and move more. Oh, and drinking mostly water instead of diet coke, tea w/ splenda, etc.
I am so picky about what my KIDS eat/drink and making sure they get plenty of fresh air/exercise - but when it comes to myself and DH, we don't put forth the effort we should for US. I'm especially struggling with getting MY body moving more. We have a membership to the Y that is WAY underused. I am hoping that putting some audio books and humorous podcasts on the iphone will motivate me to at least spend a little kid-free time on the exercise equipment there. Even if I'm 'just walking' at a leisurely pace.
Sooo - not a particular plan, but these changes will hopefully work well for us. FWIW, I'd like to lose 50ish lbs, but 60 would be even better!

Well I just weighed in ( I am a long time night shifter so my day has just begun)
HOLY CATFISH!!! I am 219.2 an all time high for me at barely 5'3" ,I have got to get serious . I did the hypnotism today and will set aside time each day ,so here I go down this road again. As someone else said I turn 50 soon and would love to look better at 50 than I did at 40, may be tough though , I was in a midlife crises at 40, lost down to a size 10 and looked danged good on my new harley looking back. Whew too bad I couldn't get back in that attitude I had then lol.
219.2 I am in shock, well off to work I go......

Hope this is not a family only site, I have been on several threads over the years that the "family" looks over the newcommers......
