Let's do this good thing together!

Size two? Who needs it! I would be happy just getting my booty back into those jeans that have been hanging in the back of my closet since the Carter administration. And I realize that being smart is the only way I will ever do it.

Fad diets and quick fixes just break things in the long run. Intake and output are what got us here, and they'll be what get us back where we belong.

So, no grapefruit fasts. No colon cleanses. No cabbage soup (everybody together, now: WHEW). Just mindfulness and moderation, tremendous honesty, and the support of good friends who share the same challenges and the same high hopes that we do.

PLEASE consult with your physician first, before embarking on ANY new diet or exercise program. Your doctor should always be the final authority, no matter how good the advice you receive online sounds.

We welcome your recipes, success stories, suggestions, and discoveries. In the interest of respecting the copyrights of others, we do request that you link to material you didn't write yourselves, rather than cut and paste. And, needless to say, if you're a spammer or a snake-oil salesman, turn around now, because you won't last a second longer than it takes for me to discover you in my group.

Enough said. Let's make this fun!

I hear ya! I did it before and I remember being so focused and it felt great to see success BUT I somehow lost the focus. I am steadily getting it back. Friday, Saturday and today I walked around the block, it is a start. In fact, today, I took a walk three times. I won't tell you about the food, except today I am good. I know the drill.

Feeling a little down today. That will change too in time.
have a great Sunday!!!

Babs43, I'm having the same issues. I too lost my focus after about a year and a half of doing well with eating right and exercising. I've gained back about 40 pounds of what I lost and am really trying to get back on track with eating right and forcing myself to the gym. I'm glad you're off to a good start! Barb
