Believe me, we are definitely all here to cheer you on! You’re right, though – one of the toughest things is figuring out how to make fitness an actual routine that doesn’t stop after we’ve reach our goals. I think that’s my biggest issue, too…especially because I have NEVER been a sporty person. AT ALL.

When I was down to my goal weight last year, it was an amazing feeling. Not just body-wise, but just feeling-healthy-wise. Of course, slowly I started getting back into old habits and didn’t exercise at all (well, here and there, I guess) and ate a lot more. Bleh.

I’m sure you will figure out what works for you – no matter what, you are absolutely stunning and a huge inspiration to me. Here’s to a lovely 2010! Woohoo!

Girl, you look great! I know what you mean, though. As we get older, it’s harder & harder to stay fit! I need to lose this baby weight! Ugh… here’s to getting fit in 2010.

How is the Biggest Loser game for Wii? I’ve been thinking about getting it; is it worth it?

I was very active in high school with volleyball and track and like you, once college came, I had the same mentality you did.

I’m starting a program with a friend of mine so we can do it together. I’ll be looking forward to reading your progress!

Love this post. I feel this way, too – how did I get here? And how can I stop? It’s time. Good luck to you, and thanks for being an inspiration. Hope 2010 is the year for BOTH of us!

I gained a ton of weight in the last couple of years too, living on my own and eating out so much. It happens to the best of us! I went from being “big” to being “fat” and so now I’m working on losing weight this year too. We can do it!

Cheers,
Allison

You are a brave, smart, beautiful woman…and you CAN do this! I have lived a yo-yo weight
struggle for most of my life…and seem to respond to health issues rather than appearance
issues better. For example, my cholesterol is too high…and my doctor said it’s either lose the
weight, or go on medication that may have some side effects! So, since last September I’ve
been eating differently, no dairy, wheat, sugar, less animal products like butter, eggs, beef…
and I’ve lost about 30 pounds. Well, until about a week ago! I baked cookies and made
candies for holiday gift-giving. And, of course the temptation was TOO great! Now, it’s time
to re-focus. Exercise is also so important to making me feel better. I try to walk for 30-60
minutes everyday in our neighborhood…and we have some killer hills around here! My doctor
says getting my heart rate up really will help get my cholesterol down. You inspire me to push
myself to keep with my goals! Thank you! We can all do this together!
