I found this very brave lady on blogger the other day. I've never posted my weight on the net. And I probably never will. And I'm a guy, we don't usually worry about such things. But she's done it, and she's fighting hard!
I've always struggled with my weight. As a programmer, I don't get a lot of exercise. And I love to eat. And I don't like vegetables. Or fruit. Or artificial sweeteners.
So you would think that a diet like the Atkins would work well for me. And it does. The problem is that I cannot stay on that diet for very long before I just get sick of all the meat and protein bars. It does work well, though. I recently went on it for 3-4 weeks and dropped 10 lbs. I went off of the diet and I've kept those 10 off, but I need to lose 40-50 more.
But I really want to exercise. Well, want is a strong word, but I really need to exercise. That's the tough part.
So I started running, and lifting weights again. With willpower, and a little less travel, I can accomplish my goals. There are a lot of people like Gigi that are in the same boat.

Wow - she IS brave. Much more so than I am! I'd blog all day about the journey, but I don't think I could disclose the numbers! *gulp*
My husband is a techie, so he's not very active. I'm active with the kids, but not active enough, obviously, 'cause I've still got pregnancy weight hanging around 6 months after the fact.
It seems there's never enough time. This morning is my first day at our new gym, though, and they have childcare. So I'm going to give that a go.
Good for you for starting an exercise program. That's half the battle.
And I've really rambled on, haven't I? I guess this post just speaks to what I'm going through right now, so I can relate.
