As in, I need you to support me, not that I'm going to support you. Lazy wenches.

Anyway, while I'm not obese by any stretch of the imagination, I have gotten a bit roundier than I would have preferred. I will be dieting and exercising (bought a wii fit to get started!), and I figure that the more people I tell, the more embarrassed I'll be if I mess up. Also, I thought that if anyone else is in the midst of getting in shape, it could be fun to share stories.

For the record, I'm doing sort of a South Beachy plan (only good carbs, good proteins, good fats, lots of veg) and counting calories on livestrong.com. Also wiiing, obviously. Maybe playing camogie again.

I have some questions.

1. Are you currently following any kind of weight loss/fitness plan?


I have fallen off the wagon since the holidays and have been making half hearted attempts to get back on but I was doing a similar modified South Beach diet. Lost Fifty pounds but I have put about 7 back on since I injured my should in October.

2. If so, have you been doing this for a while?


2-3 years

3. How's that working for ya?


It has worked great when I stick to it.

4. Have any advice? (If you're Tom, you don't need to tell me that I should just run and eat what I want within reason. I apparently have a special kind of chub that is impervious to this plan.:P)


Budget in cheating. If you know you are going to cheat give yourself a set amount of cheating so it doesn't get out of hand.

5. Would you like to be supported in this endeavor? I've got an excellent guilt-trip.


I wish I could get more support at home. It is hard to eat well if other people in your life are not doing the same.
