well... i guess it's time i jump in here... i've been poking around now since the middle of march when my husband decided to go for WLS... what a great place this is...

so i have about 40 lbs to loose and thought this would be the place to come for the extra support i need... so i've started watching what i eat and actually measuring my portion sizes and i'm trying my hardest to jump on the treadmill in the mornings... i'm finding that late nights aren't very condusive to getting up early in the mornings though ...

so i do plan to start coming regularly and share all the ups and downs of my journey... seems like i'm in the right place...

Thanks!

i can certainly see how that could be frustrating... although i'm not a single parent i too find it difficult to find the time to exercise... sounds like you're doing awesome with the time you have though... during soccer season is it possible to do some walking while the kids are playing... i figure i'll have to go that route myself... my DS is playing for the first time this year... keep at it... you're doing great...

Thanks, Ruth.  Yes, sadly I don't do well with those kind of carbs either anymore....even sticking to my points.  My oatmeal in the morning or oat bran gives me a great laxative effect and doesn't seem to stall me.  I had a bad day on Monday after my weigh in though (lots of poor choices) and trying to get back to my weigh in weight at the moment.  Not sure why I sabotaged myself like that.  Maybe today's Oprah show will help me understand.  :)

Oh, I bought that book while I was on vacation but haven't started it yet....gave it to my daughter and she loved it!  I'll look forward to seeing this show....not today, cause I won't be home but will DVR it.  I've read other books of hers and always enjoy her point of view.  Thanks for the reminder!

I had heard the prompt for Oprah's show today being, "Why Oprah will never go on another diet", but didn't realize she would have Geneen Roth on.
