Over at Lazy Mom Cafe we were also inspired to lose our Pillsbury Dough Boy shapes…all be–we stupidly decided to start NOW…well…everyone but the Italian chic who called us a bunch of whores to fashion.
Good Luck!
Here is the inspiration for our weight loss plan…

Hah – sounds similar to me saying what’s the point of losing this baby weight before January … just gain it during the holidays anyway. I’ll be with you come January though! Joining a gym and everything!

Hmmmmn This sounds vaguely genius. I think the only way I’d lose 10 lbs at this point is under threat of public humiliation.

Yep, any change we want to be, be it becoming physically or mentally in good shape will happen faster, as Leila said, with support and laughter.
Going it alone will always be too hard and although Mir’s tantrums will be fun to watch, don’t most of us do silent tantrums in our head and give up when change becomes too hard?
Unite girls, unite with a purpose.

Great idea – though I’ll watch from afar. I know how gloriously I fail on these things…judging from half a closet of clothes that don’t fit(and not because they’re too big). I think my dryer’s shrinking them. It’s clearly a conspiracy.

Love it! And since I already read 3 of the 5 blogs it’s natural to add that one to my daily read list. ;) Love ya.

Eeeeeee! I knew it was Joss before I even saw the link. Because I am smart. Also slightly colorblind. Seriously though, you gals crack me up! Truly, I will cheer you all on, and make a small contribution to said lofty goal by ridding the world of an undisclosed number of evil, fattening chocolate kisses. Yay! Also? Those tequila floats don’t sound half bad. =)

JennyM I am so with you on this one. I’m an idea person. I love the concept, the picture in my head that I get when I start something new. But if the results don’t show up when my impatient self THINKS they should, then I lose interest. It’s not that I don’t believe in what I started, or finishing that. It’s not that I don’t WANT to be successful. I just would rather be content with who I am. Now, where’s my doughnut?

I too have looked at photo’s of me at 18 and thought – how could I ever have thought I was fat THEN? After having a horrible job and not eating, which created havoc with my system, I lost 20 lbs. But I was terribly unhealthy with little vitamin D and other essential nutrients left in my system, and then diagnosed with diabetes. I decide to work at being happy no matter what size I am, and enjoy my life. Did you know that 95% of all people who loose weight gain it all back in 5 years, and usually more? My goal is to be more active, and eat breakfast every day. I’ve given up on the urge to loose weight. It helps to have a guy who loves me any way I am. I understand the male/ice cream connection!

It would be helpful if the blogging world did not join the diet craze, as they just don’t work, and contribute to the idea that women are not beautiful if they are fat.

Oh, see… here’s the thing. I want to join. I always join — but then I totally fall off the wagon and become embarassed and have to never show my face again.
