My Goal:
I need to lose 35-50 lbs to feel good about myself, re-gain confidence, be able to be active, fit well into my clothes and look good again. Lately, going up the stairs and even moving around is difficult. I need to ge back in shape. I feel like a 70-year old woman. I hate pictures because I look so huge in them. I don't want to be afraid of taking a good look at myself again. I want to fit into clothes at any store. Right now, I can't even fit into a regular size 14 anymore. I want to feel and look good again.

A year later, I have made no progress and have actually GAINED weight. I now have 55 lbs to lose. Good thing is I am very motivated, which I haven't been in such a long time!!!


About me:
Turned 40 this January. A mother of 2. 17 and 8. A busy professional. Looking to lose weight to start dating again.


Diets I like:
Low-carb diets, South Beach in particular. However, this diet is difficult for me right now as it depletes me in energy and I end up exhausted. I am under too much stress for this type of diet. I also want something more sustainable. I will try to reduce portions and watch what I eat instead.


Workout of choice:
exercise videos at home; I am also getting a treadmill and the elliptical.


My plan:
To lose 35 pounds or more and to be more fit and active. I don't want to feel out of breath or be the biggest person in the room anymore. I also want to significantly cut down on alcohol.


I need the most help with:
Sticking with the plan. I tend to give up and give in to cravings, especially when I am stressed.
