Not really a skid problem but just wondering....

Maybe I can blame it on the skids and BM's because of all the stress I have been put under because of them. I have gained a horrible amount of weight, to the point where my doctor is bitching at me. Does any one know of any good and helpful weight loss blogs or forums I could visit?

I completely understand, I

I completely understand, I have just realized how much weight I have put on. I started yesterday go back to a gym, because I need to find something to do for myself and I need to shed about 40lbs, I'll be happy with 30lbs gone. I have used a few different apps that help track calories and exercises. I really liked Lose It! and My Fitness Pal is a good one also. Good Luck!!!

I wish I knew. Thought I'd

I wish I knew. Thought I'd get a pedometer and try walking more. Everyone raved about the FitBit so I forked out $100 (ouch). It wasn't until I got home and opened up the box that I realized you have to set it up through the computer. I just wanted one that showed me the steps I'd walked when I looked at it.

I also need to take off about 40lbs. I swear I have zero willpower. That's not true... I have the willpower to not drink myself into a stupor on skid weekends...

Yeah, same boat, 40-50 lbs. I

Yeah, same boat, 40-50 lbs. I did have my fitness pal and I loved it, I need to get a phone. lol
I've never wanted a fitbit but I do have a pedometer...somewhere lol. I'm going to start now, I'm not waiting for new years.

Was also thinking of starting

Was also thinking of starting an online journal or diet blog but not real sure where to go for stuff like that.

I have now been put on

I have now been put on antianxiety meds and my therapist has given me lots of mental relaxation tools. I'm hoping that will drop the stress level. It was more than stress, but what started as stress, led to severe stress, which led to debilitating anxiety, which led to depression, which led me eating to much comfort foods to make myself feel better. Now I'm in a world of medical problems because it was so much weight so fast. DH is finally getting it. He's already told Inbred that she is no longer allowed to call. Her number is now blocked and emails will be the only form of communication. BM1, he's limiting my exposure to Redface Magee. So, I'm hoping the stress level will decrease consideralby. Thanks for the advice.

I am about to start trying to

I am about to start trying to lose some weight, going back to school and long (1 hour each way minimum) commutes have added pounds. Not helped by breaking my arm last month. Now I am off for a few weeks I plan to start little workouts at home. I want to lose around 20lbs, maybe less, but my clothes are all tight and I cannot afford a new closet! Maybe we can support each other too.

I'm about to go back to

I'm about to go back to school shortly after the first of the year. I actually think the distraction of homework and studying will be better on my mind then what I normally have to deal with. lol I'd love to support each other, I can be your cheerleader...
