Default Making a new commitment
Well I'm here. And I'm serious this time. I'm going to do everything in my power to lose 50 pounds in 50 weeks.

Some facts about me:

I'm turning 40 in 2 weeks.
Two kids delivered by c-section makes for a flabby belly.
I am pear shaped and carry most weight in my hips, thighs and calves.
I crave sweets a lot.
I'm really embarrassed by how I look.

Some positive things:

I don't have even one excuse not to do it.
I'm working out 6 days a week right now, 2 with a personal trainer.
3 weeks ago I gave up coffee and Coke Zero (it's like giving up crack)
I plan to eat more plant based proteins and limit meat consumption.
My husband said if I lost 40 pounds he would take me to Paris (I'm down 10)

Oh and my name isn't really Betty.

Hi Betty! Or whoever you are

I love your attitude! It sounds like you've given this a lot of thought and have a solid plan in place. I hope we can be of help

We have a Vegetarian Chicks forum at http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/vegetarian-chicks-121/ which might give you some ideas for plant based meals.

Good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing your pics from Paris

Wow Paris has got to be a great motivator! I'm with ya on the coffee and Coke Zero, I have now gone 2 weeks without my pepsi max :'(. I've switched to green tea and just plain o water. It sounds like you're on the right track to get that 50lbs off, good luck, and enjoy Paris
