wow! it must be tough (but great) being a mum (: hope that your weight loss works out! it'll probably get easier once your son starts walking :3 then you'll start having to chase him around the house! :3 you might want to work out in the house if it's hard for you to find the time to work out... or you could take your son out for a walk more often! doesn't sound like a workout, but it's fun, lets you spend time with your son, and gets you burning more calories. :3 win-win-win situation!

Hi Laurie, & welcome!  You'll love this site, it's the greatest thing ever!  I have lost 36 lbs since mid February and am 6 lbs away from my original goal weight!  The people on here can teach you a lot and they're so supportive!  Good luck!!

Thanks to both for your reply.  Already I have been off track for two days but will make progress!  I have not been at my desk at work,  so I haven't been able to track calories or anything, lol.  I am more aware of what I am eating and have done weight watchers before.   Have either of you tried WW?  Awesome to lost 36lbs in 6 months!!

Thanks, I'm pretty proud of myself for sticking to this... I never stuck to any "diets" I've tried before, but I see this as more of a lifestyle change and I plan to stick with it.  No, I haven't tried Weight Watchers, but I've heard it's similar to this, isn't it?
