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???
Final stages of my weight loss goals.

You can do it. I have been through a lots of ups and downs myself; I was 185 then came down to 150 and then ran back up to 168 again. I was disappointed as you were; but was thankful that I realized the problem before i was back to square one. I also began to analyze why I do this all the time with myself. I cried my heart out and then realized that this is not going to help; I need to put my act together and begin treading down the path of weight loss again. I remembered how nice I felt when I ate right and worked out right and today I am down to 140 with only 10 pounds away from my goal. Bottom line; Start over.
Start Over!!!!
When you’ve worked so hard to follow a dieter’s way
And you fought to win a victory each and every day.
But one more time you went astray – start over!
If you’ve started out in pursuit of your goal
And you’ve really tried with your heart and your soul,
But somehow things got out of control – start over!
When you’ve tried your best to do what you should
And you thought this time that you surely would
But once again you didn’t do good – start over!
When you tried so hard to yourself to be true
And do the things that you know you should do
But once again you failed to come through – start over!
When the road to success seems much too long
And each temptation was oh so strong
And once again you gave into wrong – start over!
When you’ve told your friends what you planned to do
And trusted THEM to help you through
But soon discovered it’s all up to you – start over!
When you know you must be physically fit
But your hope seems gone and you’re stuck in a pit
That’s not the time for you to quit – start over!
When the week seems long and the successes few
And at weigh in time you’re feeling blue
Remember TOMMOROW is just for you! – start over!
To start again means a victory’s been won
And starting over again means a race well won
And starting over again proves it can be done
So don’t just sit there – start over!
