Kristina: WELCOME!! I agree with Traci, you have to rid your kitchen of all the junk (or lock it up!) Temptations are the hardest part of this journey for me. When I was a SAHM, I couldn't keep my mouth free of food! Now that I'm working, it's a tad bit easier, but I'm still tempted by the food the kids are eating (I work at a day care.) Also, you really have to keep your goals in mind. Realize that it's going to be a long and hard road, but that you will succeed if you perservere (sp?). Hang in there and turn to the great support you have here at BuddySlim!

Traci: I haven't checked yet to see if the blogs are working. I think I saw that you posted to the team thread? If not, check out the Fitness Fanatics thread under the Weightloss Challenge forum.
