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.

I love your new family photo. You know that I am interested since I used to weigh much, much more. Like you, I don't care as much about how much I weigh as how I feel about my body...I'm in. Even though I am technically 30 lbs over even now..I don't care because I feel pretty good at this weight but certainly don't want to gain any more. I have lots of tips.
Oh....you've read my mind!!! I'm still handing on to baby weight and just not feeling my old energetic self. Everyday I look for motivation, but I'll tell you...if you do a blog like that...I'M GAME!!!
You are just reat the "weigh" you are - sorry that was too hard to resist. I hope you can get your blog going - if you need me for moral support I can tell you how much I've gained every week - it would be pretty impressive when I lose about 12 lbs in one day, though...
It sounds like a great idea to me! I could use some good "secrets!" Sounds like a fun thing! Lets be honest though... we are still going to go out on dates and eat yummy food... Right?
I think that's a great idea Kat! I'm trying to lose some "wedding weight" myself and could definitely use the extra motivation! I have lots of tips as well, just not the motivation I need to carry it out! Let me know the results of this...I'm very interested!! jshuler47@msn.com
