Main Goal
My goal is to lose at least 20 pounds and to be able to take my shirt off on the beach without being totally embarrassed about the size of my belly. I also want to get back in shape to run a 5k by June (I ran one last summer, but I've put on five pounds since then).

About Me
I've been happily married to a wonderful woman (she has to be to put up with me!) for 20+ years and have two boys ages 11 and 3. I've let my weight gradually creep up over the last few years. I dropped 10 pounds two years ago and have kept it off, but I haven't been able to lose any more even though I still need to drop about another 30 pounds. I've got to develop the self-discipline to control my eating so I can reach my goals and become more physically fit.

Hey, haven't 'talked' to you in a while. Weight Watchers is starting to pay off. I lost 4.2 lbs. last week. Funny how it works when you 'get it in your head'!!

I had a good Easter, what about you? I kind of fell off track a little bit, because I didn't do my 30 minutes a day on the elliptical, but I am back on and trying to do it atleast 4-5 times a week. How is your success coming along?

UGH...I have been awful as well!! A dear friend of mine has been in ICU and I'm the sellers agent on his house. He's been 'under' for 2 1/2 weeks now and I sold his house, yadda yadda...I could go on and on about that. I'm eating the wrong stuff, drinking a little more than I usually do...STRESS what more can I say!
I wanted to be down to a size 18 jeans by summer, but oh well....I'll get there eventually!
Hang in there!

It's like you said we didn't put that weight on overnight so it is definitely not going to come off overnight.... I just have to remember that and be proud of every little pound that I lose..

Thanks for the vote of confidence... I am going to try and hang in there and I know my hard work will pay off... The problem I have is trying to stick with it because you know sometimes people lose a little bit of weight and then they get comfortable and go back to their old habits, I am guilty of that on numerous occassions, but I feel this time I am going to make a life style change and stick with it... We both are going to have to hang on in there together.... With prayer we can accomplish all things...

Wow..an attorney and a realtor motivating each other! GREAT combination! I've been slack on the gym, but getting back in the grove! I LOVE latin dance classes and pilates!
Mark you will never know how much this motivation talk means to me! We MUST meet when we reach a goal...kinda keep it real!
Thank my friend!

So what do you do for a living? I'm a real estate agent. Yeah, that means passing fast food places ALL day long!
You are correct, we North Carolinians need to stick together! Did you apply for The Biggest Loser or anything like that? I did but never heard anything, so decided to do it on my own!
Keep in touch!
