Thank you all

We had looked into the different diets, but honestly neither of us liked how restrictive they were. Also I really do not like how one diet says its ok to eat this, then the next says that the same thing should be avoided at all costs. I do believe in everything in moderation, unless there is a medical reason to avoid. We do avoid as much processed food as possible as well.

Zazou, Theres a few reason for not doing the team sports or even working out with a friend. Thanks to DH's work, and having no one to take the kids for me, there isn't any team sports on when I could do it. Then theres the joys of small towns and having nothing on offer. I was working out with a friend a while back, but it didn't seem to motivate me as much as it possibly should have. All sound like fixable excuses, but I have looked into it all. Even pt training isn't possible thanks to work schedules, and kids.

Thank you I shall have a look on fb for those groups, and pinterest. I do have to get my groove on thats for sure.

And I shall have to find some jillian michaels stuff.

I think that whats the hardest is that you are conditioned to look at numbers on the scales, every week the biggest numbers are celebrated. Yes people talk about non scale victories, but they are not as highly celebrated, or talked about, or the idea enforced.

DD3 is getting her 2yr old molars through at the moment, maybe once thats done she will sleep again, no more winter colds either. Then hopefully dh will come through on his promise to look after them for me so I can have my workout time. Then, theres just that small matter of painful and long lasting af to address, then maybe I can refocus and plan long term, I aint going back to the old me, thats for sure.

Thank you
