Hey! I'm new to this thing and am looking for a buddy to email. I can definetly understand the motivation thing. I'm 278 and have tried every diet I can imagen. i have even considered getting that stomache staple. YUCK! Did you know that thing costs $26,000. I could get a new car for that. Maybe we can buddy up and work together.
I'm in Texas.

I am with you ladies! I have tried all sorts of diets. I had joined WW a few months ago to end up quiting. I called today about the stomach bypass surgery and they wanted $8,000 down! OUCH! Yea that is pocket change for me! LOL I hate exercise... I have severe back problems so exercise is hard for me to begin with. I still need to make time to just do it! You mentioned you work a lot, maybe you could get up earlier and exercise before work since you are so tired in the evening. I know it is hard but sometimes we just have to do it. Good luck!

Love the whole "Life Change" that is a GREAT way to look at it!

I too have done the whole fad diet thing. Motivation is hard for everyone. If someone could figure it out they could make a whole bunch of money selling their technique!!!

I have to make myself get up early and do my walk then, because if I don't then by the end of day I'm making all kinds of excuses. Can you find someone to work out with. I have found if I make plans to walk with someone then I am more likely to do it since they are counting on me.

Good luck!!!!
