I have a new membership to the YMCA and I'm really excited -- I did think it might be nuts to try to change everything at once, but you know what, taking baby steps never worked for me so maybe this will. ALl that to say, if you're eating lots of veggies, you don't have to worry about packing on the pounds so much.
I am with you here too... I decided to overhaul the cooking in our house this week. When the kids are back in school I will join the gym.

The last time I quit I switched my addiction to eating better and taking care of myself. Ended up losing somewhere around 60 pounds. I have gained most of that back 12 ounces at a time.
