But not to MDC! I have been reading your post and getting really excited about what I am trying to do. A little history. I have a history with binge eating/not eating, but it has gotten alot better since I have become a mother. Pre first child I wore 10/12. After #1 I was a 20 
. I got down to a 14 and then got preggo w/ #2 and ended up an 18/20 again! Well now #2 is 8 months and I have only lost 6 lbs. All 6 of it being recent. I have tried The Firm (not enough time to fit into my schedule right now), some other workout videos and belly dancing. Belly dancing has been my fav. It's what I did to loose the weight w/ my DS. But so much has changed in my life and I never seem to have time to workout.
With the weather warming, I finally found myself starting to want to loose the weight again. So I have been doing my darndest to STOP overeating. I heard a beautiful message from our Pastor. He said our sins of yesterday and Satan do NOT define who we are. That was 9 days ago, and I've lost 4 lbs since hearing it. It really made me think, "I don't have to be this person anymore". And all of the sudden I felt happy again. It really renewed my outlook on life.
Another driving motivation is my children. I love my son, but my daughter is my concern. I don't want her to grow up in a home where mommy is dieting and struggling with her weight. I dont' even want her to know what "diet" means. I had so many issues growing up because my mother was always dieting. I was thin, but I didn't see myself thin because of what I was learning at home.
So here are my stats, long term and mini goals:
Starting weight 195
Current weight 189
1st goal 180
long term goal 120
I am going to try to start walking, before the weather gets too hot to permit it 2x per week. I also want to start my Belly Dancing again 2x per week. I need support, and someone to kick my butt!
I will try to food journal (although I absolutely despise it), and excersise journal too.
BLESS YOU if you made it this far!
