Are you thinking this...

I've tried a LOT that's out there...Richard Simmons, Susan Powter (LOL loved that hair...wait maybe it's the hairdresser in me that picked those two, because of their weird hair!) ohhhh and  the one that you just simply breathe properly to lose weight....come on...did I REALLY believe I could stand there and inhale and exhale ...

My girls, my MIL, and I attended an outdoor concert and got to meet and get autographs from Dan Evans (a couple of seasons ago on Biggest Loser) and the Carter Twins (upcoming teenage heart throbs in country music, lol). The girls had the best time and were right in the front row!

I'm also going to post a couple of pics of my Carly in Alice in Wonderland at the dinner theatre here. If any of you remember The Wright Kids from America's Got Talent they were in this with Carly as well. Ni...

I used to think-

1. I'm happy fat.

2. I'm supposed to be fat, because it's in my genes.

3. I'm not THAT fat.

4. I don't eat that much.

5. I would always be fat.

6. It's too hard to lose weight.

7. It would take too long to lose weight so why bother.

8. I didn't have it in me to lose weight.

9. I would never be fit.

10. Folks that were fit and healthy were born that way and didn't have to work at it...

Mama now has basal cell skin cancer....surgery Aug. 5...more details in the replies below. Your prayers mean so much folks!

I've had a really trying few weeks since my last blog post.

When I was heavy I used to sometimes think it was just my "destiny" to be fat. It was who I was supposed to be and that there probably wasn't much I could do about it so I may as well accept it and be fat and happy. What absolutely CRAZY thinking that was and I'm sure it was being fed to me by the devil.

One thing that made me REALLY sit back and think was one day at my yearly check up I told the Dr. ...I said, "I just can't seem to lose...

Did you know that most diets are destined for failure!? The majority of people who try to lose weight...fail! It doesn't HAVE to be that way though...there ARE people that are successful...not PERFECT...but SUCCESSFUL!!!

The first thing you need to do is to realize that there isn't a magic plan out there or perfect plan that will solve all your weight issues!

There is NO quick fix...and you shouldn't do anything to lose weight that you aren'...

Are you ruining your workout?

Most people that start a workout or diet plan quit within the first six weeks!!! Don't let that happen to you...see if you're "guilty" of any of the following.

1. Going way too gung ho too fast!

You're excited so you think the more you work the better and if one workout a day is good then 2 or 3 is even better! You want to be fit NOW and not have to wait for it....
