OK Peeps I'm back on the wagon....

....heading to weightloss! Why?  mostly because I have no excuses anymore I guess.  Although at the time it didn't seem I was making excuses at all.  My life was hectic.  Now I'm home from the honeymoon, no more wedding planning --everything in life is going great -- so no excuses....I gotta get the weight off....

So I hope to be around more.  My husband (that's so weird to say that) is onboard with me so this should be a lot easier from that standpoint alone. So hello again to all of you who have been such great friends in the past -- and to those whom I haven't met yet, I hope to soon!

Hey welcome back!!! Now a married woman..its great that your husband is going to do this with you! Goodluck to both of you thats going to lose. It will be good to see you on the board more often!

Thank you!  Yes I plan on being around more now.  By the way I love your new avatar (first I've seen it, it probably isn't 'new').....very cute!  

Congratulations Married Lady!  Welcome back to the wagon.  Now that things have settled down, you'll be able to concentrate more on fixing you.  Ooh, how nice to have a husband who supports your efforts...if I ate everything mine suggested, I'd weigh five hundred pounds! I hope your weight just melts off! Mary

Congratulations and glad to see you back!  Was the honeymoon everything you dreamed it would be?   Glad to see you back on the wagon. Brenda

Thank you Brenda.  The honeymoon was great.  We did a cruise and had the time of our life!  Coming back to the 'real' world has been hard but we knew it would come. We went to the store last night and re-stocked the fridge/cupboards with good stuff and we have also started exercising -- a minimum of walking every day but most days more than that. Seeing pictures really hit home for me.  I honestly don't feel like I look as big as I really am.  the wedding was beautiful but I wish I could have 'looked' more healthy and been at a better weight. I would post a couple pics if I knew how, but I haven't a clue....  

Thank you!.  Yes, he is the type that likes "double desserts" at family celebrations.  I am anxious to see how he will do as well.  He hasn't been overweight his entire life like I have so this is all new to him.  I am trying to educate as best I can with what I know -- sometimes I listen to myself making it seem so easy and think, "why the h*ll can't I do it then?"   Much easier to tell someone how to do it than to actually do it yourself.  I have to get this weight off though -- we both do-- we are having too many problems to only be 30 yrs old.

Go Jenn!  Can't wait to see how you do!

It will be a looooooong time before I catch up with you and your skinny self 

Congrats!  And welcome to married life!  Wonderful with the right person...may God smile on the two of you. The first year of co-habitation (and maybe you guys did live together first) sets up some "rules" of eating and exercise that may be hard to break. If you two have not so good ones, it will definitely help if he is on board.  Most husbands,,,,errr not so much, kind of resistant to this whole discipline thing. I know my DH will go in fits and spurts.  So my advice is for you to set your own tone and don't be swayed if he lags on this, either.   Also VERY irritating when men lose fast...omg, my DH was positively gloating when he dropped 9# in 6 weeks - just from walking with me in the mornings. GAWD, was I irritated. And hey, all of us "re-commit", sometimes for me, it's every day...at first we re-commit every hour until we see the benefits of living right.  Glad to see ya!
