Thanks so much!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all my friends out there who have given me GREAT advice about how to lose weight. I think a big part of my problem (before) is that I didn't believe I could actually lose the weight, so I need to change that right now. Since I wrote my sob post, I've lost 3 lbs. I've started counting my calories and just making sure that I'm burning off at least as many calories as I'm consuming. I'm also keeping a food diary so that I can really see how bad/good I eat. It's really making a difference (I think). So many of you sent great emails and left awesome words of encouragement. I think another thing I need to remember is that my body composition has totally changed. I will never look like I did in high school, but I have 2 cute kids instead. My body will be what it will be BUT I am in charge of how fit it is. SO, if you see me out walking, COME JOIN ME!

Thanks for all your love and support. I'm hoping to lose 50lbs, well, now I only need to lose 47. :o)

Love you all,
Jane

Yay!! :) 3 lbs is awesome...I think I found them! ;) But who's counting anyways...?! When I was going to the gym my trainer said the best/most effective thing you can do is count calories! So good job! :)
