Okay, so Nick and I have been house sitting for my mom's best friend for the past week and we've had a blast! They have an awesome pool with a slide and a waterfall and they also have a sweet barbeque with a bar and an outside fridge.
They also have a Wii (love it!) and a Wii Fit. The Wii Fit is brutally honest... it told me I'm obese, and that my body is much weaker than it should be. Nothing like having a video game dish up a big ol' slice of depression pie. Sierra and I are going to start going to the gym so that I can try to work my way down from obese to just plain overweight. In order to do that I have to drop about 15 pounds. Yikes.
I guess the reason its so shocking to me, is because I've always known I was overweight, but I guess I hadn't realized how much weight I've put on in the past year. i still don't know if I would call myself "obese" but based on my body mass index (bmi) that's exactly what I am. So here goes nothing. I'm going to try to be dilligent and work out at least 3 times a week. I figure if I start out with a reasonable goal I can work my way up to more.
I'm so scared of being a fat mom... I want to be able to run and jump and play with my kids, I don't want them to be embarassed of their fat mom. I don't want to avoid cameras because I don't like the way I look. I want to get back to a point where I'm confident about the way I look in my clothes - I just want to be able to fit into a size 12 again.
Anyone who wants to can call or comment and help keep me motivated and on track by periodically checking in with me to see how I'm doing.

Hey Kim! What gym do you and your sister go to? I agree small and achievable goals are a good place to start! My only advice is don't get discourage if the pounds don't melt off all at once (that's my biggest problem!) - if you are feeling better from the working out and stick with it, the weight will come off! Keep us updated with how you're doing!!
we have memberships at LA Fitness off Cal Oaks. We want to just get in shape and feel better about how we look. And that's my biggest problem too, I get discouraged if I don't see some kind of result.
Dude. I totally feel ya. I'm working on the same thing and the hardest part is staying motivated. We should check up on each other. Accountability is the best way to stay on track. By the way, you're gorgeous. Don't let the scale tell you how to feel. BMI is one thing, but neither that nor the scale take into account your muscle weight, and muscle weighs more than fat! So don't be too discouraged.
Sounds like all of us Ladies can start a club together!
I have a pass to Ballys, but never want to go alone. I also have this thing where I LOVE to snack!!
I can't use my kids as an excuse anymore, my youngest is TWO!
Hmm, lets do this! I think just knowing others are working on it, will help!
Call me Kim! We need to chat!
