    Hey all!! How is everyone doing?

    I had someone ask me my secret to losing weight the other day, I chuckle when people think there is some secret to losing weight. When I explained it is 'hard work and determination" they just looked and asked well what diet? I'm not on a diet, so I couldn't answer that. People don't understand you don't need to diet to lose weight you just need to watch your calories in/calories out.

    I do not disallow myself any foods, if I want something I eat it. If i go over my calories for the day I don't beat myself up, I mean do we beat ourselves up on the days we don't eat the minimum daily allotment? I feel, it all works out in the end and if it doesn't you need to take a peek at your diary and be honest with yourself.

    I've got 2 pounds to hit my first mini goal then I will be setting another 10lb goal. Hard to believe I'm less than 30lbs from my ultimate goal!

    I love your attitude. I listen to a lot of people around me talking about this diet or that diet and denying certain foods. For me that is a sure way to failure. If I deny myself the occasional treat I am more likely to go out an binge on the very item I am trying to avoid.

    I'm in! I can't believe how much counting calories has helped me, in just the last few days! Being mindful and AWARE is everything. I'm feeling great and I plan on keeping the good vibes flowing!

    I would like to be added to the team here. Just started MFP again, last time it helped me so much. Unfortunately stress of life got me and I am back up...sigh.

    Time to start over. I have been going to the gym 3 times a week for the last 4 weeks doing my lifting routine, and I will be continuing my logging here.

    205 last Wednesday.
