Candace, sweetness,
You've actually motivated me a little. I've known I was gaining too much weight for a while now. I was ready to start an exercise plan when my arm and my knee sort of "went out" (dont' want to go into that in detail, just know I can't do much at this moment but I am getting it fixed).
I will start with changing what I can, until I can exercise correctly. I am cutting out ginger ale (yes, I started drinking soda again, wtf was I thinking???) and cutting back on my portions. I'm going to check out the biggest loser things you've mentioned so I can make healthier food.
I'm cheering you on, Candace.
