I am six foot tall and I weigh 135. I have several children, but I have always been able to lose the weight after being pregnant. I don’t really exercise but I have a certain diet. It includes lean meat, fish vegetables and fruit. We use olive oil on everything including baked potatoes. I have also become an angry Republican Mom. BTW I live in Central Illinois.

Or perhaps even better, Muay Thai. For weapons, I'd study Kali (or whatever derivative name for Filipino martial arts is being used) that has not been diluted of its practicality. Nothing like specialized and improvised use of impact and bladed weapons. Especially stickfighting and knife combatives. Since you like handguns, you should also find an instructor who has an intimate familiarity with firearms. There's so much crap that are taught in martial arts- especially unarmed defenses against attackers wielding a firearm or knife.<BR/><BR/>Of course, this is assuming you are looking for function as well as exercise. Also, ground grappling is invaluable.<BR/><BR/>Just a suggestion.The WordSmith from Nantuckethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15937868119894243815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11257069.post-1135817775658338732005-12-28T16:56:00.000-08:002005-12-28T16:56:00.000-08:00Frankly, I don't think you need to lose anything, you look great! But if you must then good luck! I struggle with it and its so hard.Diane-In-SoCalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05349556113970748332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11257069.post-1135808321523934562005-12-28T14:18:00.000-08:002005-12-28T14:18:00.000-08:00I already posted mine the other day on my <A HREF="http://difster.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">blog</A><BR/><BR/>Actually, they are more like dreams and expectations for 2006. The last New Year's resolution I made was to never make another one again and I've stuck to it.<BR/><BR/>BTW - Don't worry so much about calories. Concentrate more on nutrition. Stay away from the bread (including cereal) and processed sugar, that will make a huge difference.Difsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15192605698986301905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11257069.post-1135773216893437192005-12-28T04:33:00.000-08:002005-12-28T04:33:00.000-08:00Thank you ladies! My goal is to fit back into my Kay Unger & Hugo Buscati dresses once again! <BR/><BR/>Before kids, custom tailored. After kids, Whatever fits. And, I'm tired of that! My best asset is my long legs, and they need to be in shape by swimsuit season!Angry Republican Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08892997329959831316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11257069.post-1135721901564366702005-12-27T14:18:00.000-08:002005-12-27T14:18:00.000-08:00We like your style - none of this 15 lbs in five days stuff. We are going to be doing a "1 lb a week" weight loss plan at our site next week. We'll be looking forward to following your journey!Leighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00174136027299249825noreply@blogger.com
