I need help!

Like so many others, I am not totally happy with the way my body looks and with how healthy I feel. Right now I am hanging onto some extra pounds brought on by age, three babies, so-so eating habits, and inactivity. I really want to lose those extra pounds, but most importantly I want to be and feel healthy. I want to “run and not be weary, walk and not faint”. My problem is that I am having a hard time feeling really motivated right now. A really hard time.

So I was wondering if any of you might like to join me in maybe writing a group blog to post success stories, failed days, diet/exercise tips you find, healthy recipes you love, etc. And in so doing offer support and encouragement to each other. We could even do weekly weigh-ins (not that you would need to put in how much you weigh, just put in if you have lost or gained that week and how much). Some of us may have only a little to lose, some of us may have more, and some don’t need to lose weight at all but just want to have better exercise and eating habits. I think it could also be a way of holding myself responsible and be a motivator, since I know I’ll need to report about how I’m doing:)

If you are interested in banning together and doing something like this please leave a comment and let me know. Then I can try to set up a blog and invite everyone who wants to join to be a contributor. If no one is interested, I totally understand that too. Weight loss and exercise can be a very, VERY personal thing.
