performance: losing 2.5 lb a week

My name is Leslie, and I live in San Diego. I'm 43, married (since April 2003), and have a beautiful daughter (born April 2004). I've struggled with my weight off and on throughout most off my adult life. Although I had heavy times, I still felt hot, and I was never wanting for dates. I felt pretty positive most of the time.

I had my daughter in 2004 and I haven't been able to shake the weight I gained when I was pregnant. It's weird because I exercised regularly before my pregnancy, during my pregnancy, and after my pregnancy. When my daughter was about 5 months old I stopped walking because she hated the stroller. That was the beginning of the end. I just quit exercising altogether. It's no surprise that my weight has crept up.

It's time for a change. I'm sick of feeling bad about the way my body looks. I want to be hot again! But my biggest motivator is my daughter. I had her when I was 39, and I want to be around for her for a long time. She deserves a happy, healthy mom, a mom that she can be proud of. And I am that woman!

Getting to KNOW YOU, la la la laaa la laaa laaa
Hi all,

My real name is Leslie, and I live in beautiful San Diego, California, in the USA.

My screen name says it all. My daughter is 4 years old now, so I guess I shouldn't blame the weight on her anymore. But that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Tally for Tuesday, August 12...

I exercised for 60 minutes at the gym (cardio and weight training). I ate well all day, until dessert time. I am giving myself a 4.

I had a pretty good day. I exercised for 70 minutes at the gym, and ate fairly well. So I'm giving myself a 4.

Tally for Saturday, August 9...

I'm back on the saddle again. I ate pretty well today. I did have some tortilla chips with beans with dinner - not great, but not too damaging. I got to the gym and got in 45 minutes of work. So I'm giving myself a 4.

Finally, a loss! I guess that what happens when you actually work your plan! I'm almost recovered from the summer game. I can actually see my goal ...

No loss, but no gain, which is a good thing after my summer gains. So now I'm back to really working the eating plan.
