From the Forum: Lose to Gain
Earlier today, I threw out the uneaten Christmas cookies that were sitting on my counter. There they sat, staring up at me, tempting me with their chocolaty goodness while begging to be put into my belly. I resisted today, unlike the past couple of weeks, and decided that throwing them out was the best option at the moment. Sure, I wasted about a dozen cookies, but I also saved my waistline from getting a little bigger. I could have given them to the neighbors, but, quite frankly, I think they would have done the same thing because it’s that time of the year when we are done with our holiday gorging and ready to get back on track and in shape, right? Right, ladies??
Yes, it’s time once again for the tried and true weight lose resolution for the new year. But, this year, you can get some much needed help and encouragement!

Sound like a good idea? Here are some more details taken from the LiveMom Forum:
Join our 12-week, women-only group and learn how to lose weight through exercise, sensible nutrition and motivational weight-loss tools and techniques. By joining, you’re automatically eligible to win a cash prize of at least $1500.
