Gah.... I wish I could do that. I'm in far too much love with my pills though

My husband got me the x-factor pulley system that hangs on the door. The MMA guy in the exercise videos is really cool.

I've been walking 4 miles as many days a week as I can. I have sciatica that never went away from pregnancy so there are days when my back and leg just hurts too much to walk.

Dieting is the problem. I'm terrible at controlling what I eat. I'm on a see-food diet. I see food I like, I eat it.

So, it would be cool to have somebody to "account for". I mean, if we put in how much exercise/diet we did for the week, I might get embarrassed enough to report my laziness that I'll be more inclined to go do it!
I've never had a kid, but my tummy kinda looks like it. When I was 13-14 I ate a lot of fast food, and unhealthy food. I don't know how much I gained, but I gained A LOT of stretch marks, so I'd guess about 20 pounds. And I'm only 5'5 so it looked like more.

I've heard (through multiple sources) writing down what you eat is the best way to control your diet. You really don't want to write down "1 cheeseburger and about... 40 fries" (<-- My weakness) If I wrote down everything I ate, I would probly be a lot lighter right now.

Most personal trainers will tell you 80% of your weight loss is going to be your diet, then 20% is exercise.
