I don't have a problem with working out, I just need will power when it comes to EATING!! Anyone got any tips....other than the obvious, like, "Just put the fork down fatty!" HaHa!

It can often take 6-8 weeks for women to see noticeable changes when they start a routine - so don't get discouraged, be consistent in exercising and healthy eating and you will lose the fat! -------------- A man of sense is never discouraged by difficulties; he redoubles his industry and his diligence, he perseveres and infallibly prevails at last.
