Wish me well. I have been reading this forum for some time and really need support in my desperate goal. I am going to be going to Hawaii next May and I want to badly to not imbarrass my husband and children. I DO not wear shorts in public but I don't see how to not do that on the beach.
I am going to start my eating program today. Let me know what you think

Journal, journal, journal!
No soda at all----water only.
eat small meals 5 times a day.
breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, diner, snack.
no eating after 7:30

working at gym 3-4 days per week for starters.
I am hoping to leave my home at 6:00, workout for about 1/2 hour then home to shower and be ready for kids to get here.

Again, let me know what you think and if you see anything else I can do to help me out.

Best of luck to you. Sounds like you have a great plan. I am just starting today but really have no plan. I do know that I want to eat better; food diary, and exercise much more; exercise diary. You will always have support from here. Keep up the great work. Sounds like you have a positive attitude which will get you far!!!!

Hello and Welcome! You have a great incentive of a trip to Hawaii! You can do this and your eating plan sounds great!! Good luck!!

Thanks for the support!

Oooh, sounds like you have a great program set up! Good luck with your loss! We went to Hawaii in May two years ago and it was gorgeous!
