WOW so many replies & such good info & advice, thank you! Now do any of you make house calls? I wish I had a buddy to walk with but it's just me & the boys. We live on a busy street so if I walk it's packing up the stroller & off to the parks. It's the getting out & there part that is hard. I am SO exhausted from running my tail off all over town for appt's that I really could care less about going for another ride.

The baby, well mini toddler 19mths & weighs 30lbs! He has clubbed feet, surgically corrected but cannot walk still plus hydrocephalus (water on the brain) & has been shunted for it. I like the swimming idea, the thought of actually buying a suit scares the crap outa me!

So are you all doing low carbs, no carbs? Should I eat allot of protein? What do you all eat for lunch, dinner? I am a water drinker, rarely a soda. Do you all fix your food seperatley from your families? Like they get one thing, you another? I am a good 50#'s over weight & have to do something -I'm also 36 yrs old. I really appreciate all the good advice & hope to find a plan that I can stick with.
THANK YOU ALL :)

Hey Crystal-- for some great ideas, and to see what some of us are doing wander on down the board to the 'Journal' folder (and feel free to start your own journal). Most of us are tyring to stick with real life eating habits (moderation, the good stuff, etc...)


I think the idea of swimming is great. And for buying a suit-- how about doing it through a catalog?? (Though be careful about sizes...check with their sizing chart)...
