Hi! I'm 41 years old, and everything I used to know about weight loss and my body has changed! Lovely. I slowly started gaining weight 2 years ago, then had a car accident in April 2007 and really packed on the pounds. I'd rather sit in the jacuzzi and read than work out, so that's added to my heaviness. However, the first of the year, I was ready to loose this weight and generalized fatigue (and I refuse to weigh more than my boyfriend and it was getting close)so I started Fatsmash (again). Motivated and determined, I approach this with a new attitude and resolve. The Beck Diet book has helped as well-how to think like a skinny person. Here's to wearing a bikini this summer...besides in my back yard:)
