Introduction Text I'm 40 and a wife and stay-at-home mom of a young daughter. I've been struggling with my weight for nearly eight years. For many of those years, I tried to ignore my weight problem and wrote it off as pregnancy fat, but I was still holding onto some of that pregnancy weight when my daughter was a toddler. She's 8 now. It's 19 days before my family's spring break cruise and my goal is still to make healthy living my lifestyle and not just a quick fix. I've come to terms w/ the fact that life has gotten in the way and I won't be able to lose 29 lbs by the time we go on the cruise. BUT I've lost 13 lbs so far and that's still an accomplishment to be proud of! I'm learning to like myself no matter what stage of this journey I'm at. Recently fell off the wagon with both my eating and exercising and trying to get back on track now that school has started. I know I can do it because I lost 41 pounds about three years ago, mainly through starting and continuing a regular workout routine. But my big mistake is I didn't change my poor eating habits and I didn't stick to my regular workouts. So I regained weight within a year of taking it off. I've since regained about 30 lbs. It also doesn't help that I take medications on a daily basis that have the side effect of weight gain. But I'm determined to get back into shape and to do it the right way this time. Trying to think positive and stay motivated. This Web site and the people on it are a great source of advice and inspiration.
