This time I'm serious!

[skuttle]

I came over to this board months ago with the intentions of starting my diet again...well, that never happened. But this time, I'm serious! DH and I are starting together tomorrow. We will be following the LA Weightloss diet... I have a copy of the diet from a friend. I followed it last summer and lost 20 pounds in two months, bought all new clothes, then I got pregnant and gained about 60 pounds! I have about 40 left to lose. I know it's going to be hard to cook healthy meals and make the time to exercise, especially with a 6 month old, but since DH and I will be doing it together, I'm very optimistic. And I know it'll be just like last time...once I started the diet and actually started to see and feel the results, I got more into it. Hopefully that will happen again! Not that I won't still look forward to our cheat meal (last time I gave myself one meal a week to cheat on).

I just can't wait for both DH and I to not only lose weight, but get healthy for our DS.

Hi Skuttle!!

First of all, welcome back to WISH!

Second of all, the picture of your son in your signature is ADORABLE!!

Third of all, I'm glad you're ready to start 2004 on a healthy note. Even if you start small, like drinking lots of water every day, it will still be a step in the right direction. You'll gain extra energy to keep up with that cute little one. He'll be moving faster and faster these next few months and Mom will want to keep up!

It's great that your DH is going to be eating the same way! That makes it so much easier! Best of luck and keep us posted, OK?

Welcome back, scuttle!! I think you're right that once you get going it's much easier. That first step is the hardest to take and you have done that by re-committing!! And I'm sure it will be much easier since your DH is going to do this too. After all, you both have a beautiful six month old reason to get healthy!!

Welcome back, Skuttle!! I am so glad you are joining us again!!

Welcome back, I'm glad you found your way back to us. I'm sure it will be a big help having DH following the plan with you. I also have to say, I love the picture in your sig, what a cutie.

Much luck and good wishes in achieving your goal, and I bet having dh for support will really help! Your baby's pic is ADORABLE! Best wishes going out to you...

I know you'll be successful, Skuttle! It will be great having your DH do this with you too.

I just have to add that your DS is adorable!

 

[AlreadyexcitedGrammy]

..... that little charmer of a DS! There will be 3 winners in your family - you, DH and DS!

Take it one day at a time and you'll end up being among the best darn losers around!

Keep posting of yours and DH success. I am a ww counter but think I will jump onto the South Beach for a few days to get all the sugar out of my system - I think this diet does work well for a quick re-start - at least for me - to get back into the swing - and huh - after Dec I need to "get back" that's for sure!

Thanks so much for the support. I made it through yesterday...boy, was it hard! But both DH and I did it. Woo Hoo! It's SO much easier with DH doing it, too! We didn't exercise last night, but we will tonight (we were both still too tired from staying up late for the Sugar Bowl).

And thanks for all of the sweet comments about Colin. I must admit I think he's a cutie.
