I shouldn't be that surprised. I fell off my plan and bounced back up 25 pounds. What a shock! When I don't exercise and I eat junk, I gain.

So, again, back in the saddle.

Hopefully by making my efforts public here I will stick with them. Really, it's not that hard.

1) No fast food. None. That means no!
2) Controlled calories and portions. 1600 cal/day.
3) Run 4 times per week (2 times ain't cutting it)
4) Lift weights 3 times per week.

I'm tired of being fat. It is easy to live in a state of denial, but you know, pictures don't lie.

I'm tired of being fat.

Good luck!

let me tell you girl... nothing snaps you back to reality more than a picture. I recently went out with my girlfriends and we took a group picture.. WOW it's like I look at myself everyday but I just had no idea how big I was until I actually saw that picture. use it as motivation!

You can do it!

[SoulBliss]

I too just had an "AHA" moment with a picture.

Well, it looks like you used it to properly motivate you and I applaud your (re) commitment! YOU CAN DO IT!

Midwife--I have delivered both my kids with midwives. I know the heart and generosity you must have. LOTS of mamas and babies need you to be healthy--I know you can throw some of that generosity toward your own care!
