I have a 3 year old son who is my life.:love: But sadly along with him came the fat. I have just not taken it off yet. That is my fault b/c I can't get into a routine of exercise and I love to eat. I was dx with Multiple Sclerosis in Dec. 2004. I am doing good but I know that losing weight would be of great benifit for my MS. I would like to get down to 125-130. That is 50-60 pounds. I want to do this as quick as possible. I am just tired of looking at myself in the mirror this way. It is depressing.:( Any advice will be great. Thanks.

Figure out what you need to do each week perhaps even day and take it 1 at a time. A big success like that is made up of a whole lot of little ones :) Good luck! You can do it!

Focus on getting healthy, take it one day at a time. Set yourself weekly goals and keep in mind that you should only lose about 1to 2lbs a week. There are great exercise and diet plans on this site and you have the support of thousands. Once you start, stick with it. And when you hit a platou (which everyone does, it's completely normal) just step it up a bit. Don't give up, it will be tuff but the rewards will be sweet:big_smile: Good Luck -------------- \"One Ring to rule them all; One Ring to find them; One Ring to bring them all, and in the Darkness bind them.\" -LOTR Trilogy
