I've been overweight most of my life but now that I'm not as active as I was when I was in high school and since having 3 children, I've found that weight so much harder to come off as it used to.

Hello there everyone!! I am a married 32 yr old mother of 3 (ages 6, 3 1/2, and 1) who works full time. I've been overweight most of my life but now that I'm not as active as I was when I was in high school and since having 3 children, I've found that weight so much harder to come off as it used to.

I saw some other pages with the break down of weight lost by week along with incentives for each milestone, which seems like a good way to keep motivated. So although I'm a couple weeks behind, here's mine:

***02/11/09 Update***
I'm DONE having my butt and thighs taking an extra hop after me when running...I'm DONE having my pants leave an indent in my waist when I take them off...I'm DONE having to hold my breath when bending over to tie my shoes...I'm DONE being obese on the BMI charts...I'm DONE getting winded running up and down stairs...I'm DONE wearing black all the time because it's "flattering for my size"...I'm DONE going shopping and coming home with nothing because nothing fit...I'm DONE wearing clothing in sizes that don't really fit...I'm DONE feeling self-conscious when walking into a room and feeling like everyone is looking at me, or worse yet, talking about me...I'm DONE being fat!!!

I'm ready to lose weight...I'm ready to feel great...I'm ready look great...I'm ready to get rid of all the excuses that have kept me where I'm at...I'm ready to be comfortable in my clothes...I'm ready to be more active...I'm ready to really start living!!!

Who's with me???
