I think we need an area for motivation. I don't have any of that. I know I need to lose weight. A few years ago I was in the best shape I had been in in years. I looked good, I felt good and no matter what I tried on at a store, I never looked fat. It was great. But over the past 6 or 7 years I've battled depression, hated my job, had relationship problems, my son left for college and I found myself alone. I'm an emotional eater and I've eaten anything and everything. I drink Pepsi like water. I tend to eat stuff like donuts, ice cream, Little Debbie cakes when I'm depressed (and I have been a lot) So now I've gained 45 pounds. I'm fairly tall but still it's showing and I feel like a big slug. On top of that my cholesterol is up and I know I need to do something about my diet.

So my question is... how can we motivate each other to get up off our butts and do something? If feeling bad about myself, feeling sluggish, and knowing I am hurting my health doesn't do it, what will????
