Thanks for the input ladies. It's definitely food for thought and is helping me devise a plan on moving forward. Thanks again.

Jessica,

Haven't posted yet, b/c I don't know what to say. We're at the same end of the spectrum. :hug: I've had other things to take care of (medical), and during the winter my motivation goes out the door anyway.

Everyone has great advice here. I would ask the Cute Boyfriend if he would be willing to work out w/you, or at least agree to not bring contraband into the house if he's not going to do Sonoma (or whichever plan you choose, or no plan at all). If it's not in the house, if you have to leave the house to have something not OP, for me, it's easier. And you'll never know until you ask, maybe he would be willing to do Sonoma or whichever you choose.

I know you have furry kids, they need walking, are there parks in your area that you'd be able to get them to run after Frisbees in? Mine looks at me like I'm high, but he was never one for 'fetch', is 14 & small, and like his Mom, the only "toy" he goes for involves food (a pig's ear. Yes, I am going mostly vegetarian, the dog is not) :( Yours are bigger & might appreciate a good game of Frisbee.

I feel for you, I really do. I know I have to do this, my dr has informed me I am out of choices. I have to make this work. I know you barely have time to pee let alone exercise, but I am hoping as the weather gets warmer, you & I will BOTH be more motivated to shake what our mommas gave us. :belly:

I know all about where you are right now.but i've made up my mind that it not going to get any better by giving up.it just puts us back and makes the road longer when we gain more.i'm going to take it one day at a time and every day when i get up i say to myself "what can i do today to be healthier".i am going to set small goals for myself.we are all in this together and going through the same thing.we just have to pick our strong days to help pick up someone else who is not feeling so strong and that way we will all take care of each other and help get each other through this alittle at a time.stick around ,we are all here for you.hang in there.
