Oy, I'm in a sorority
Just kidding :-)
This is actually more fun... and more useful.
I hesitate to discuss my weight issues on my blog, but hey, it is MY blog, so heck, I should be able to share stuff. Without oversharing ;-)
My weight has been an issue ever since my first pregnancy. And the yo-yo dieting that followed (once Sarah had been weaned) didn't help things, I'm sure. I did manage to get almost to my goal weight several years ago by following The Fat Flush Plan (cheesy title, but good program), but a family crisis kind of threw me, and as usual when there are changes in my life, I throw my routines and my needs out the window and just put everyone else first (mommy complex).
The same thing happened when we moved here: Stella was just a baby, Sarah was having a hard time at the new school, my husband was working long hours at his new job... Just recently I started feeling like everyone else was sorted out and comfortable, and it was time to take care of ME (finally!)
Which brings me to: I really need to start exercising and maybe plan my eating better (I don't really want to say "go on a diet"), and I realize the Holidays are upon us, but hey, no time like the present, right?
So I joined the Sisterhood. Because really, a support network goes a long way when you are embarking upon something new, especially something you are dreading a bit. And let's face it, doing stuff together just makes it more fun!
So here I am. Goal: skinny jeans :-)

Welcome to the 'hood, sistah.
I'm loving your blog.
Best wishes on your goal. My goal is to survive another day each night! ;)
Good for you! I think the holidays are a great time to start changing your life (I don't like "diet" either) - if we don't do it now, we'll be worse off next month, right?
Good luck reaching those skinny jeans!
Great goal! Two years ago I made a similar decision, and lost about 30 pounds. Good luck!
Way to go! I'm also making the resulution to lose some weight (more importantly, inches) so I can fit better in my skinny jeans and my LBD for New Year's Eve.
Best of luck!
Yay for you!! So happy we're all in this together. :)
Well, I broke down and bought the Acai berry tabs. We'll see what that accomplishes with all the other exercise and plain celery. :)

Good for you! Make the commitment and your goal is right around the corner.
You have an award at Confessions of a Baltimore Housewife, by the way. :)
