Hi All, My Name is Sue and I'm a 41 yr old mother of 2 and about to become grandmother any day now[my daughter is overdue with a girl.Also wife etc etc, many hats you know how it is. Somewhere along the way I lost me, Sue, I'm just starting to find her again since my children have grown up. I have always struggled with my weight I gained 22kg with both my pregnancys, basicly lost it again, but since getting older and not having littles to run after the weight is creeping back on and the metabolism slowing down. I lost 12 kgs after a radical diet overhaul 5 yrs ago, I made lifelong changes, and never thought I'd gain the weight back again, but I have ugh!! I know what I have to do it's just doing it and being consistent is what I find hard. I have to excersise regualarly which I'm trying hard to do. And I have to not snack between meals because I don't need the extra calories. [I'm trying to do that also] My weight now is 68kg and my goals for my height is 56kg.I've set a challenge for 2007 to be excercising regularly. Eating what I know to eat,and see if this works. I have been so down on myself since I gained the 12 kgs back , even now I can't beleive it, all the hard work gone to waste, cause I couldn't maintain it, half the battle isn't it. Anyway I need support and encouragement,as I don't want another year of gain and failiour. Does excercising every day 4-6 times a wee really work in the long run???
