I would love to talk to some other people who have been where i am. I have 3 children and a very busy life but i have decided to make myself one of my priorities...finally!

As Rob Schneider would say in an Adam Sandler movie "You can doo eet". Last march I pretty much came to the same conclusion though. It took a lot of effort and commitment from not only me, but even from my family to permit me to change the foods we keep around the house as well as take the time for myself to get into the gym. Your profile doesn't say whether your married or not so I don't know if you have a second adult around the house to give you a helping hand (looks like the Teenagers could do that job though for you), but that was a big help for me as I'm out of the house by 5AM and in the gym and she gets the kid's up for the day and off to school, in exchange I cook dinner every evening and do most of the cleanup as well...that way I get to the gym and get to pick what we eat. Just remember that a diet won't get you to where you want to be it's a lifestyle change. This last week I saw a huge influx of traffic at my gym and in less then 3 days it's already cut in half. Don't be one of those people. There's some great people on this site and lots of terrific information. Hang around and learn all you can.

Hang in there and keep coming to FT to post your progress, goals and learn from these awesome people! -------------- Veda A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
