I have been trying to lose weight all my life. This has always been a struggle for me. About 9 yrs ago, I did the atkins diet and ran on the treadmill 5 days a week. I lost a total of 42 lbs and 4 dress sizes. Over the last several years I have gained 50% of the weight back and 3 dress sizes. I also had another baby during that time. I guess I was happy with my life and had a wonderful husband who love me for me regardless if I was gaining the weight back. I never took time for me until the summer of 2006. I bought turbo jam and started working out. I lost 7 lbs in 4 months but in November I injured my neck and couldn't workout again.....Talk about frustrating. I swore to myself that once I got better I would start working out again. Well, thankfully, just before Christmas 2006, the pain was going away, so I promised myself that I would start in the new year. I DID !!! I have been running/walking on the treadmill faithfully 3x per week and watching my fat calorie intake. I also each 6x per day (little meals) and will not eat after 7pm. I drink my 64oz of water each day (sometimes more). I only buy good snacks now like fruit, yogurt, and baked chips/crackers (if I'm totally desperate). I'm not one of those women where losing weight or being fit comes naturally. I have to work at it....ALOT. I'm turning 37 this year and this just gets harder and harder. I refuse to give up. I want to stay fit for my kids, so I can do things with them and not get pooped out. For right now, I continue to get on the treadmill, I'm afraid to do the turbo jam tapes for right now because of my injury but I will again = trust me!

I don't care about being that size 6 I was....I just want to be healthy and fit and if it means staying a size 10...so be it. I will be happy with it.
