    Dr. put me on Addipex to give me a helping hand in losing some extra lbs I picked up over winter. I want the easy way! I need motivation to keep exercising so this will be a good post to be a part of.

    Today I rearranged the living room so I have room to put a yoga mat on the floor and do pilates. When I say rearrange I mean I had to move box's of............fabric. They took up to much space so I pushed them out of the way, under the dining room table. I don't have an eat in kitchen but I never eat at the dining room table except when DS visits. I stopped eating at the table when I was alone. It just seemed so lonely that I started to eat in the living room while I watch TV. Bad habit but it was better then sitting at a great big table by myself.

    I am back to weighing and measuring food.

    Dinner tonight......chicken stir fry with lots of onions and bell peppers and only 1/2 c rice. yummo!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks! I am so excited. I need to lose this baby weight; my baby is 6 (years) on the 12th! My goal is to eventually lose 50 lbs. I'm going to try Weight Watchers online, and am also meeting with a nutrionist next Monday.
    This is my first time seriously trying to lose weight since having my son, so if anyone has some tips on what has worked for them, I'd love to hear them!

    Welcome! You will find everyone to be very supportive and encouraging. I have found that limiting carbs works best for me as well as my daily 4 mile walks. Thank goodness I live in sunny AZ. Of course, I will be complaining of the heat soon enough & will have to resort to the treadmill instead of walking outside. I also strive to have a positive outlook every day, even when it is nearly impossible. It's amazing how powerful a smile can be. Good luck!
