It is way too easy to get off track especially when you have a lot of distractions. I told myself that I was going to focus more on health and fitness this year. I decided to write everything down this time. It helps to keep you motivated and you know what you have to do. Just keep going…

I’m right there with you! I have always struggled with my weight but have finally made it clear to myself that this isn’t acceptable. I weigh more then you, have a total of 100 pounds to lose, and medical issues to boot. Weight Watchers has always been good for me, I’m on it right now and have lost 15 pounds in the past month.
Since you mentioned Wii Fit, I also want to suggest the Wii game EA Active and EA Active More Workouts. Those are fantastic games for exercising. The Wii Fit games are great (Wii Fit Plus is MUCH better then the original version) but the EA Active has a challenge (30 days for the first version, 6 weeks for the newer version) and gives you a set schedule. You exercise two days, take one day off. The only negative is that the EA Active game doesn’t weigh you. We have all four of the games at our house (we’re a little obsessive.)
Good luck on your journey, you can do it! You just have to remember why you are doing it and why you can’t afford to stop. Every time I have a weak moment, I think of my children and how I want to be more active for them, have energy to play with them, and be healthy for them.

Personally, I’ve never tried Wii Fit, but I would love so I can get back on the wagon.

Recently, a sister of mine tried Sensa and she has lost over 20 lbs. within a few months.

Oh please Rachel, I watched your potato video (and voted) and you did not look fat at all! I know what you mean. Toby has a bit of a complex about himself. He’s 13, 190, size 10 shoe….he’s not FAT but he’s a big stout boy that slightly chubbier than his classmates. It bothers him but I just tell him that he’s gonna be able to take down Tyler so easy this Summer. LOL

Cooking less chicken fry? oy…good luck with that. Taters, steak, chicken fry oh my! I can maybe avoid eating it but not cooking it? My guys would kill me;)

Good luck with you’re walking! I got the Wii too and will be working out! :)

I did the potato video of me last night and when I watched it… I wanted to cry. How did I get that fat?
I won’t even weigh myself for fear.

We have the wii fit and I’m upgrading us to the Plus for Christmas. I’m going to start walking again in the mornings and using the Fit to hopefully lose the weight.
I made a vow a while ago to never talk about my body, weight or how I see myself around my children. I do NOT want them to see how I think or to think that how I look has any bearing on how others see me or my self esteem (did that ramble make ANY sense?)

I’m going to try to cook less chicken fried steaks, less pastas and be healthier…

here’s to hoping.

<3 thanks for writing htis

I think we should be better friends! haha! I weighed as much as you just a week ago. THEN – I got sick and lost 8lbs. Still in the 190′s tho. It makes me mad to think that I’ve gotten this way. But, seriously…who thinks about it until it’s out of control? Well, we should. I guess it just counts with what you do from here on out. Good luck – and wish me luck as well! I’ll stay in touch!!

I’m so proud of you for never giving up…here you are, still trying. I think the main thing I do is think that things are too hard or take too much time. When if I’d just go do it, it wouldn’t be hard at all!

I love the wii for weight loss, it (combined with counting points with WW) has been the first time I have lost weight in 10+yrs.

Btw, God seeks prayer from us in all forms, and tells us to ask for the desires of our heart. It’s a great idea to ask for the strength and discipline it takes for long term weight loss!

Well, Lori…I am right there with ya! You’ve seen me and can totally tell I’ve gained weight (arrgghhh). 15 lbs to be exact…ahhh!! But, I’m back in the saddle again (ya like the saddle analogy ;) – 2 weeks in to be exact and I can already tell I just feel better even though I haven’t lost a darn pound!

I will hold you accountable girl, I just need to know if you want a phone call, text, skype or tweet…cause I will be one you like chub on the rub…that will be gone oh so soon!!
