I'm still here in the same spot, still trying to win the eternal battle of weight loss. I got very very sick after Summer's wedding and had to slow way down which was a little discouraging and affected my motivation quite a bit. I still haven't gotten my stamina back before bending over in a coughing fit and wanting to die, but I've managed to at least keep seven pounds off for over 2 months now. I plan to continue. It may be slow and steady, but hopefully slow and steady wins the race. I wonder when and why weight became such an image issue. I understand the need to be healthy, but not the need to be starved to death and too skinny. I see pictures of people and wonder why they think it looks good to look like your dying. I'm a girl, and I would love to walk into any shop and just be able to buy off the rack and know it's going to fit but at what cost am I willing to get there? I'm scared of diet pills, eating disorders, obsessing with how much exercise I do, and major diets where you can't eat anything. For now, let's just hope what I'm doing will be enough in the future.

Brit, that's SO hard. I know the feeling (especially after a new baby!) I get really stuck when I'm focusing on my weight. I don't know if this will help, but for me, I feel better when I'm just trying to eat to be healthy and eat so that I have energy.
If you want a way to get in shape, a friend recommended to me a program (free)...just google "couch to 5K"...but it's for people who want to get in better shape but don't really know where to start.
My dear niece, If you are healthy a few curves are a good thing. Some of us are just not made to fit the Hollywood mode. You are pretty where you stand.
