Great news about the change in measurements. I'm going to try to channel your enthusiasm. Two week ago I gained 2 ounces and was almost in tears; I seem to be fixated on the numbers. Since then I've lost a little more - my weigh ins are Mondays and today I lost 1.6, so signed up for the $20 for 20 pounds.

Way to go with the weight loss!

My weigh in is tonight and I'm a little concerned as I had the munchies over the week end - was craving sugar and nuts. So went out and bought some of my own 100 calorie snacks. First time for me and found that when I have those little packs of 8 gummy bears - you tend to go back and open another one and then another one. Any way I wound up eating about 3 or 4 each day. Me thinks I’ll toss the rest of them. I wonder if I'll actually gain. Sometimes I wonder why I can't intuitively feel my body and sense whether I've lost or gained one or 2 pounds. Since I wear the exact same outfit you’d think by pulling on the dress I could see the difference? I never know what the scale will say so I - close my eyes and step up and wait for the JCC to tell me.

Never been a runner – but always wanted to enter a walking marathon. Keep up advised how you get along with that. I walk about 15 miles a week with a group that flies along every day during our lunch. I’ve been doing a lot of wii exergames – Zumba – Walk It Out and Just Dance 2 at night – adding that to my daily walking. I’ve also found that cable has a lot of free exercises on the Demand channel.

Update. I gained .8 pounds. It could have been worse. I went back to the planned meals tonight. Got the same thing that was on the 1st week 'cause I lost 4.6. Came home and danced the blues away to Just Dance 2 and drank a quart of water. I also ordered the media fit that JC is selling - not from them but from Costco - it was cheaper. I'll see if that helps me to see what I need to change up.
