I found this website the other day when I was looking for ideas to jump start my good intentions to begin living healthier. I read through a number of posts and I was so impressed with the support and good words everyone had for one another. I am a happy person in general. I have a great family (barring the normal dysfunction), a good job (that has its stresses) and wonderful friends (that live 1600 miles away). My Husband and I have been less than happy with our weights for a number of years. We started weight watchers together a year ago last August. I lasted 4 months and really got no where while my husband soared and became a lifetime member with a 100 pound weight loss. I am so proud and pleased for him but I want that to happen for me tooooo. I understand the eating thing, I just suffer the self motivation to get my body moving in the direction I know it needs to go (off the couch and on to the treadmill). I am incredibly gifted at putting everyone and everything else ahead of me. I welcome words of wisdom and thoughts to motivate me to get going. I just turned 37 and want to see 38 in a new way. As a family we enjoy traveling and want to take a cruise next year. I want to be able to wear a swimsuit and enjoy myself instead of feeling self-conscious.
